We need more stories and details about such endeavors, but unfortunately most don't write about it.

Btw, how do you monetize the Date Range Picker?

The AdSense ad on the documentation website

It gets quite a bit of traffic -- https://www.w3counter.com/stats/90840/dashboard

Interesting. I was thinking most people from the target audience (tech) would have ad blockers installed. I can't imagine being a more or less tech-savvy and not using an ad blocker.

The most popular ad blockers also block W3Counter's tracking script, so those 110K monthly views it counted are just the people not running a blocker. Who knows how many more people visited but weren't counted.

Yes, although this is irrelevant regarding monetization (with adsense).
