10 GitHub Repos Quietly Making Developers Rich While They Sleep
Hi everyone, I am Nitin Gavhane and in this blog I’m going to show you 10 open-source GitHub repos that smart developers are turning into real recurring income — some charging $2,000/month, some doing six-figure exits — without writing a single line of core product code.

Why GitHub Is the Biggest Untapped Business Directory on the Internet
Most people use GitHub to store code. Some people use it to get hired. A small group of developers figured out something different: GitHub is a catalogue of pre-built products waiting to be packaged, deployed, and sold to people who will never touch a terminal.

You don’t need to build a product. The product exists. You need to find the painful problem it solves, wrap it in a service, and charge for that. Every repo below has people doing exactly this — right now, quietly, while posting nothing about it on Twitter.
