I wouldn't say that this project of mine is "big" in the canonical sense, and it is only meagerly "profitable" by a loose interpretation of the word; but this has been a huge side project from my personal point of view. Essentially, I started this when I was teaching high school full-time and needed a better website for my calculus class. The "big" impact of this project is that it opened a door to a new career for me: I'm now a full-time software engineer and thus measure its profits on the order of my current salary, which is hugely significant to me.
