>Is indie app/web development a viable way to earn money?
Sorta, you can mutually link your site to your socials and and projects, which is good for SEO–thus visibility, thus hirability. Otherwise, depends what your job is. If you're an artist you can make a self-hosted gallery, and given you're a programmer then yeah you're a type of artist.

Non-4chan imageboards use something called an >>>/overboard/, which merges all of them and thus makes one board being slow a non-issue, since everyone uses the /overboard/.

Do mods have any data on how many people actually browse through overboard vs individual boards?

Make WeChat 2
Lets brainstorm a bit
what makes WeChat a super app?
The amount of functions.
It offers a wide range of services within a single platform, going beyond just messaging. This includes features like digital payments, e-commerce, travel booking, and even accessing public services, all without needing to switch to other applications

What will make WeChat 2 an Ultra App?
Expand the functions:
Digital payments? Make a drug market.
E-commerce? Add a drug market.
Travel booking? Add rendezvous locations for obtaining drugs.
Accessing public services? Add a drug market.
Bonus feature: Ability to create group Narco Cartel chats.

Bonus feature: Add a drug social network for drug sharing and connecting between drug users.
Like the "shake" feature of the original WeChat, except you can connect with another drug user.

Make the app completely mask the device, like a built in VPN, add a special bank account to crypto converter and route it in a magic way so it can't trace back to the bank account despite it being input into the app. Or make it run entirely on gift card codes, like google gift cards, steam gift cards, world of tanks gift cards so anyone can just buy a gift card from a store, put in the code and get digital money they can use for buying drugs anonymously without having to put in their bank account and just figure out a way to cash in on the giftcard codes.

DO THIS, YOU'RE GONNA BE A GAZILLIONAIRE! CONVERT GIFTCARDS INTO CRYPTO AND GIVE A PLATFORM FOR DRUGS, ITS GONNA BE ANONYMOUS AS FUCK, JUST MAKE THE APP SUPER SECURE AND MASK THE CLIENT

NAJ but probably, I know when I run something on http-server it shows when a page is accessed. Could probably chart that.
Seems like it'd be inconvenient to individually browse each board.

NEW TREND OF 2027 - BUYING COCAINE WITH GIFT CARDS
ALL THE MEDIA ARE IN SHOCK
THE APP IS POPULAR AS FUCK, ALL THE DOWNLOADS AND THEY CAN'T FIND YOU THEY CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN, YOU DON'T ADVERTISE IT AS A DRUG MARKET, BUT YOU DON'T DO ENOUGH TO MONITOR IT EITHER

>>670042
SO ITS LIKE A NORMAL MESSAGING APP THAT ALSO ALLOWS TO TURN GIFTCARDS INTO IN-APP CRYPTO SHIT MONEY AND LIKE TOTALLY ENCRYPTED CHATS WHERE ALL THE DEALERS AND THE USERS CONNECT AND ALL THE USERS GOTTA DO IS BUY GIFT CARDS AND PUT THEM INTO THE APP AND GET MONEY, YOU GET A CUT OF THE MONEY, THE DEALERS GET THE REST.

>>670043
Make it like super encrypted and be able to run on old hardware so anyone can buy a used phone or an old cheap phone, connect it to the internet, download the app, put in the giftcard code, find a dealer, buy the goods, get them dead dropped or something like that, leave reviews, destroy the phone, consoom the NARCOTICS
dealers get paid with crypto shit thats from the giftcards converted which they can then exchange to other crypto and then into cash money Ig

Mobile apps, maybe, but only if you tap into something that people both really need and somehow hasn't been invented yet, or your returns will be meager.
Web apps, you need to pay for infrastructure so not really.

>>670333
Many BaaS have a pretty generous free tier. It's not the infra costs I'm concerned about, it's the time and effort it takes to build an app after 10 hours of debugging legacy spaghetti code that really makes me apprehensive. I really feel stuck.

do a shitty mobile game, monetize the shit out of it and shill it to third worlders
