I am about to make a bet that there are hobbyists willing to pay me for a product.
This advice is in the "hey kids watch this"/"do not attempt at home" category but essentially I am solving my own problem and hoping I can identify enough people like me to pay the bills.
It's a Platform as a Service (PaaS). I was using a service called Hyper.sh that shutdown in January and left me without a way to host my own side projects that fit into my mental model. I am building the replacement.
The core idea is "you give me a docker container and i give you a dns name with tls in front of it". Hosting, TLS and a domain are what I always hide behind when I start to launch things so I made it super simple.
We are running CryptoTrader.Tax which just hit the 13,000 user mark and only has paid pans. I don't know if this will be the most helpful, but we offer a solution for a very specific problem that almost nobody else wants to calculate or do by hand.

Are you in any position to share what your product is?

This is bloody brilliant! You actually found a middle layer between consumer and business.
Your customers are regular consumers, but they make money. So they are definitely likely to pay for a good service.
BRAVO!
