Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2026 – Show and tell

There was another one of these a couple of months ago and it did not get any traction. Lets hope this one does better. I myself am at $0/mo from my side projects and am really hoping side projects still have a future.

So, those of you making $500/month or more on side projects in 2026, what are you doing these days?
