That's definitely one of the goals that I'm tracking for, though I want to stress that profitability per project isn't the main goal, so some of these projects have no immediate monetization strategy. Additionally, the projects are of a pretty strict scope (6-24 hours of work) for MVP, so we're mostly trying to improve the overall structure.

In a year I hope to have 2-6 that are decently profitable, and ideally more that are valued in the open source community.

I think a few of the most successful ones so far are:

https://ghostlystock.com/ https://www.barbellformac.com/ https://www.heftysearch.com/ https://www.oldestsearch.com/

combined web traffic is around 5-10k views per month (across the pages you see on the main site)

Side note: I'm improving that page to make finding popular ones easier. Some aren't worth more than a quick laugh/glance, while others are really worth using.
