I think this is something much of the HN crowd can relate to, starting projects and not completing. Great work on finally launching a product. Hopefully I can get to the other side of the tunnel. My goal for this year is to just bring in $1 from something outside my full-time job and hope that snowballs into more motivation and a growing business.

Try something for a niche audience, it is the easiest way to make something that people will buy in terms of technology products. Preferably something you could see yourself actually using.

Several years ago before chromecast et al, I wanted a way to control my rhythmbox music player with my phone, so I built https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.ruckusdj.c...

Over the course of 2 yrs I sold over 20 copies for $5 a pop...not retirement money but very satisfying :)

Same here. To motivate myself, I plan on messaging you on here early December to see if you've reached your goal. Hopefully I will have too.

I've never made $1 from anything other than my full time job though I've tried several times. It's much harder than it looks... Then again even lots of successful consumer startups took half a decade or more before they made their first $1 as well

$1 doesn't help; I sold about $100 worth of indietracking.com in four years. It was really disappointing :(

What are you selling for $1? :) I might buy one...
