I love creating side projects in my spare time, and one of the things I created is DB Dash. It's not profitable, but it does have some revenue! :) DB Dash is a self-hosted SaaS that lets you easily pull up data from your database and display it as beautiful widgets on a dashboard. The widgets are self-updating. https://dbdash.io Stack: Laravel, MySQL, ES6, Ajax Check the details on https://www.indiehackers.com/product/db-dash. Here's all the different stuff I did with DB Dash so that you can get an idea about my skillset: - Project planning, database design, UI design - Prioritizing features that should make it into MVP - Development - Deployment of the system - Creating a docker image for easy deployment - Integration with 3rd party services, e.g., Paddle for payments - Creating a marketing strategy, designing ad creatives, monitoring metrics, running FB and Linkedin ads - Sales - reaching out to customers, cold emailing, customer interviews - Customer support, live and email
