Curious about more details about this setup?

Not sure what you mean by "the modern web", but if it's the ads and popups, I can only recommend NextDNS. It blocks spam, offensive content etc. on dns level. Obviously you have to trust them, but it makes the web usable again to me and my family.

I’d love to hear about it, for a reasonable amount and in a good niche it might be interesting, feel free to pm me

This. It also caps your fares in a day to the cost of a daily ticket, so you don't get overcharged.

That’s an interesting point—what makes you think that’s the case?

Condolences for your loss. It sounds like a difficult period - give yourself time to mourn. Try to fill the time with meaningful experiences - if you like dogs, go to a dog shelter, if you like hiking, go hiking. A lot of sun, sport and good company helps too. Avoid thinking about the future, work or money right now.

People already mentioned this, but take a base salary at least.

Consider posting your product, maybe someone would have an idea of what to do with it or a company might need exactly certain features, even if your product does not have traction at the moment.

Interesting, can a dioxus app built with freyaui also run on the web?

I submitted the article to HN after reading it and I have joined the Exercism Insiders - recurring $10/month, a very fair deal. Hope that has helped a bit!

As someone already mentioned please consider adding ways for monetizing, ads + remove ads, paywall, paid exercises, etc. to stay afloat.

Also please get in touch, email in bio, I don‘t have anything concrete in mind but would like to be in touch. In another life I would gladly be teaching coding, who knows maybe it works out.
