Most of the things that go into building a little software empire like this don't need to be kept secret. And by its very nature, it's not something that you want to repeat too many times.

Imagine you had a business that took 20 hours of your time each month and brought in $10k/mo. Your options now are:

A.) go surfing. forever.

B.) build another business that takes up another 20 hours of your month and brings in another $10k/month.

If you iterate this out enough times, you'll notice that option A goes away after a few cycles, and suddenly you have a full time job. Sure, you're bringing in more money, but your quality of life is back to that of every other schmuck with a full time job.

Since the stated goal of the enterprise is "pay for me to have fun with the least possible effort", it just doesn't make sense to find ways to add effort and subtract fun from that equation.
