I've been working on the MinPin platform (https://minpin.me) with Claude Code, trying to get my self-hosted server rack to at least partially pay for itself. Right now I've got a reusable framework I can use to sell various services:
* IPFS pinning
* Photo storage and backup with Immich
* Monitoring and Alerting with a status page
* Personalized browser history search with Hister
All the apps SSO against my identity provider so switching between them is pretty seamless, and billing is unified: instead of a bunch of independent Stripe charges, one subscription can grant access to multiple applications. One app is $5/month and four or more are $8/month, billed as a single charge, so Stripe's fixed 30¢ fee is paid once rather than four times.
I'm going through the "one (to|two|too) many" problem right now: picking the next app and working out how to present a growing list of products without the site turning into a junk drawer. Curious how others have handled that.
