• What's the latest way of submitting pwas to the app stores?

  Disclosure: I run https://webtoapp.design where I convert websites into mobile apps (and help publish them). Basically, yes, wrap it in a WebView. I'd need to see your mobile website to judge it better, but if it looks like a website, Apple might reject it.

• Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2023 – Show and tell

  I've been working on https://webtoapp.design for for 4 years now (in 10 days). It's my first business, so I've made plenty of mistakes. By now I have someone that handles the easier customer support inquiries and after all the other costs I can live off of it (not an appropriate software engineer salary for Europe, but it's enough).

  I've been working on https://webtoapp.design since December 2019. I cracked $2k/month after around 2 years. Could've probably done it quicker if I did more things that don't scale (as people often say). Should've focused less on SEO and more on outreach or other growth channels. I've since got my CS degree and I'm working on it full time now :). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?

  I develop https://webtoapp.design on my own and have a handful of freelancers for translation & some repetitive tasks. Basically I turn websites into hybrid apps (some native components + WebView). I started in December 2019 and I'm now closing in on making a regular european junior developer salary (3.5k/month). I'm experiencing good growth currently, so I can't say recent trends have negatively affected me. I... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• I made a Bot.. How do I use it?

  Once you've created it you can host it locally (this means leaving the program running on your computer) or host it through a service online. I haven't personally tried this yet, but I believe you can use a site like heroku.com or other similar services. Source: 12 months ago
