andygor··on Show HN: Access ChatGPT within text boxes on any website by typing /AI
I built a working chrome extension in just 10 hours with ChatGPT as my CTO.

If you possess a basic understanding of coding, the possibilities are endless when you collaborate with ChatGPT.

We created an invisible AI assistant that resides in text boxes across the websites you visit, offering infinite text-generating possibilities with just a single command.

andygor··on Ask HN: Those making $500+/month on side projects in 2017 – Show and tell
For 5 years i worked as an investment analyst for a global accelerator. A few months ago i left the job to ship my own products. Datastarta is the first one.

During the accelerator journey, I met thousands of startups and hundreds of investors from many countries. Some of them were looking to work with accelerators. From my experience, 50% of startups who apply to an accelerator actually need a program. Another part is strong enough, has a great team and just want to setup meetings with seed investors on a demo day. Why spend 3-6 months to do that?

I set down for a month and made a solid research on markets I know. I collect a lot of data, structured it, analyzed and decided to launch the first product as a database of angel investors from around the world.

andygor··on Ask HN: Best passive income method for a solo developer?
It's large enough for a founder who run a project by himself, i guess. I don't know churn rate and lifetime value can be $20 or $40.

No worries, it's ok. Summary isn't a book, it's like an article where we are describing what's inside using our own words.

> 4. Create a SaaS product that solves a consumer or business problem in a given niche...

Like it. Let me share my story.

Six months ago i read articles how Buffer, Drip and ConvertKit started and got an inspiration to do a SaaS project.

I love reading and trying to hack the process using different tools and projects. Some of them worked, some not, but no one gave me back.

The question was: to make a reading habit? And i found an answer: bite-sized reading — 5-10 minutes a day.

Next steps:

— i bought a domain (https://bookcelerator.com/summary) for $12;

— hire a freelancer to craft summaries of books a want to read ($35/summary, $70 total): «Zero to one» and «Hooked»;

— created accounts on Mailchimp and Paddle (payment provider);

— and launched an automation.

It took me 10 days to read summaries by myself, broken down into 5-minute daily emails. Then i realized i really like the process and it helps me with my reading habit. I posted a link and my story to Facebook and Twitter and got first 4 clients from my network. Now Bookcelerator is $200 MRR in two months, has 5 summaries to read (i will post 3 more on every weekend).

The problem is i don't know how to grow to $1k to quit my job and make it the full-time project.
