It was topic about showing your side projects, or something similar.

I had small website just like [1] but with ads (I sold it later). It gave me lot of traffic, more visibility, eventually better Google rank and more money from ads.

Such small/fun sites can get you real money!

Hi I see that you are serving your own OSM tiles, can you share how are you generating them? Especially in webp?
I'm using TileMill to generate tiles. I does not support webp. I exported it to png, and then with some one line script converted all png's to webp.
What did you use for ads? Adsense?
Correct. It was passive income. Once running, I didn't touched it almost at all.
Amazing, how much does it net you?
