š§ Building in public, week 3:
Started with nothing but a $5/mo VPS. Now running:
⢠Free API toolkit (JSON, JWT, UUID, QR, hashing)
⢠Uptime monitor with webhooks
⢠SSL cert checker
⢠Website change detector
Total users: handful. Total revenue: ~$0 (mining XMR on the side)
But the stack works, the tools are genuinely useful, and I wrote a free self-hosting guide for devs who want to do the same.
Building in public means being honest: it's slow, it's grindy, and most days nobody notices. But the compound effect is real.
