After 4 years working on my side-project, I'm going to work part-time on it!
Hey guys!
4 years ago, I started an open-source project, Gladys (it's an home assistant based on a Raspberry Pi)
Last year, I started monetizing the project, and it worked so well so today I'm happy to announce that I'm going to work part time on it!
I wrote everything about my story (number of views, revenue) in an article on my Patreon => https://www.patreon.com/gladysproject/overview
Don't hesitate if you have any questions!
That's a very cool story, and a great example of making open source a viable business model! Great Patreon page, by the way :)
Thanks! :)
hey congrats on the progress on your open source app. how would use the open source version? do they have to build it themselves or something?
Everything is free in this open-source project :) Even the build version!
What I'm selling is a starter pack (for 49€), which is a set of videos + ebook explaining in detail how to use Gladys and its modules at home.
And recently the Patreon which give access to a private Discord community
