Patreon Com Shawwn
Project Overview
The discussion centers around a Patreon project generating $100/month, with the creator viewing it as a passive income stream that provides occasional small rewards like purchasing a VR headset. The project appears to be relatively low-effort but maintains consistent supporter engagement.
Community Interaction
In the comments, another creator (marginalia_nu) shared a complementary project - a search engine (search.marginalia.nu) generating $70/month with a $4-5k hardware investment. The search engine attracted positive technical feedback, with users noting its unique approach and superior search results compared to mainstream alternatives.
Technical Insights
The discussion revealed interesting nuances about niche digital projects:
