Show HN: Tapflow – Built for devs/designers with way too many docs

https://www.tapflow.ai/

We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans).It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal....

It’s not a marketplace (yet), so you’ll share your product page yourself. It’s built for quick publishing, ideal if you already have an audience.

Show HN: Built a platform where devs/designers make $20k/mo from their work docs

https://tapflow.co/

Hey HN,I noticed senior tech folks have valuable knowledge in their work docs – processes, templates, guides. This is expertise worth thousands, sitting unused. But they rarely share it: too busy for courses, unsure about value, or overwhelmed by setup.I built Tapflow (https://tapflow.co) to fix this:- Notion-like editor you already know- Drop your content, set price- Get instant product page-...

I started selling my own design templates and tutorials a few years back and ended up making a steady $2–3k/month from a single Medium post that ranked well on Google and some Product Hunt traction.

This led me to build https://tapflow.co on the side (been 3 years). It's a simple platform where tech pros-designers, devs, marketers, PMs— turn internal docs, templates and workflows into paid products. I kept it lean since most don't have time to build a full course.

The core idea: many pros have valuable knowledge sitting unused-too busy, unsure of their expertise, or find it too complicated to create full courses. I built a tool to help them quickly pack and sell what they know, creating passive income.

Some friends and early adopters have made over $20k from their products (mainly courses). One French teacher even earned over $7k on the first day with just a promo page https://tapflow.co/p/du-b2-au-c1-4ebMhTxqJi

Since launch, I haven’t done any real marketing—just personal recommendations, Product Hunt and Reddit. Now it’s stable income. The platform takes a small cut and offers a pro tier.

Ask HN: How "passive" is your passive income from tech?

I see a lot of discussions about building passive revenue streams in tech (SaaS, digital products, courses, APIs, etc). But how passive are these income sources really?For those who've succeeded: What's working for you? What failed? What's your actual monthly maintenance time? How much time do you spend maintaining your "passive" income sources?

Ask HN: Who's teaching tech by sharing their skills online?

Hey HN,Ever thought about making an online course or workshop with your tech skills? It's not just for cash but to spread knowledge. Many of us have deep experience that could help others. Have you shared yours? What worked, and what didn't? Hit any snags or discovered shortcuts?There's a real gap between having skills and teaching them. I'm keen to hear if you've tried, what tools you used,...

Ask HN: How would you use paid social network?

Hi, we are building a social network with paid mechanics: subscription levels, tipping, and direct purchases of digital goods/files.Think of it as Patreon meets Twitter. (ench.app)The platform is completely from scratch with our own engine. We think about the direction of growth and how we can be useful. Need help with a fresh look and feedback from the outside, cause we are too mired in...
