How much revenue can an unknown open-source project get

We have been working on this project for 3 years, our total revenue was $315,000. This number is not much, but it has already exceeded our expectations.

This looks on-topic, but post that are not in English are usualy ignored or flagged. Do you have an official English tranlation? If not, I recomend to write one and post it in a few days.

Looking at the autotranlation, I still don't understand what the project does. It's some tool for business. Are you selling consulting or a not-AGPL version? Do you have a screenshot? Is it some backend tool that must be used from a unrelated UI? Also, add a link to the github repo somewhere.

Thank you for the reminder. Actually, we filled in the link to the English version of the blog, but for some reason, it turned into the Chinese version when it was submitted. So, I hid the content immediately. I have already emailed hn@ycombinator.com for help.

The English version is here: https://blog.nocobase.com/posts/nocobase-opensource-income-3....

I will try to resubmit it once the issue is resolved. Thank you for your kindness!

The English version has the Chinese version as the canonical url

That confuses the HN server that tries to avoid duplications. Send this info to dang so he can help easier.

(In spite of the fix of the HN submission, I recomend to add a visible cross link between the two versions, so people that arives to one of them using Google can go to the other if they prefer.)

Thank you for providing us with the solution. We have already fixed the issue. We appreciate it very much!!

Just in case someone reaches here, the English version is reposted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40377285
