I had to do a similar thing for my gif maker https://gifmemes.io when I've tried monetization through ads. Luckily for my users, the revenue was less than 10% of what it makes through watermark removal sales, so I've removed ads and dummy content all together. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

My biggest side projects come from being almost mad that a certain project does not exist. For example, I've seen a lot of gif memes on the internet, in which the text was always very badly jumping around and it was very difficult to make them. So I've spent a few hundreds of hours making https://gifmemes.io. (actually as my bc. Project :D) Another project I'm working on right now comes from my frustrations with... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

My favorite job interview was when we just talked about my project: https://gifmemes.io most of the time. Got the job. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

My GIF making site https://gifmemes.io made over 1k, totally maybe >5k at this point from watermark removals and donations. What was crucial for growth was a few reddit frontpage memes with the link in the comments. Then just slow and steady google traffic increase and now it's stable for the past few months. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

No gif skills, I used https://gifmemes.io/ which has motion tracking. Source: about 1 year ago

I've been using http://somafm.com and it's really the only thing that got me back into listening to music. ( https://radio.garden is also interesting ). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

I just had a flashback to using Winamp with multiple .m3u/.pls playlists for local and streaming content I had collected and curated. I always liked Bagel Radio and probably first heard about it from the old Penny Arcade forums or on one of the offshoots of their forums whose name I now forget. I also quite liked nearly all of Soma FM's stations, especially the Indie Pop Rocks station, but I feel that Bagel Radio... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Not a Demoscene radio per se, but SomaFM is also a donation-funded internet radio that's well aligned with demoscene listeners like me: electronic, chill, downtempo music which goes well with coding sessions. I've been listening to them for decades now. https://somafm.com. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

I almost never hear that dreck, thankfully, but lost the LDB Game really early on. (TBH, I no longer try to win—I actually like listening to Department Store Christmas on somafm.com.). Source: 6 months ago

I'll second that! WFMU is the best! Broadcasting since forever across the river from Manhattan. Yoko Ono and Matt Groening are known listeners. "Bad Animals" is my favorite. For funk and hiphop, look at https://www.wefunkradio.com/ for the guest DJ every Friday night. And Soma FM has lots of amazing curated streams. Hands-down, THE best holiday mixes, with several hours of all the versions of aulde lange syne on... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
