Sad to see RethinkDB going this way, I think I'm one of its biggest users (see previous comments). Don't really want to switch away from it either

You got it! Nothing that special about the company but it's in a good enough space that I choose to hang around and learn as much as I can about the space.

Proficient in both Java and Obj-C. I like just going native and learning about the platform rather than cutting corners with cross platform frameworks.

Very dependent on the API, wrote the API myself in Go.

Hosted on Google Compute and using RethinkDB as the database.

They allow side projects, they have no problem with it, but when your side-project is more profitable and earns more revenue than the company itself, it can bit tricky to explain

@cloudjacker - It's enough for me to live on, doesn't mean I'm not trying out a lot more things to earn even more

"This will never end 'cause I want more / More, give me more, give me more"

The app serves a good niche, I don't want to be stuck in the niche. Employer is in a very fast moving space so a lot of good learnings there. Would hate to stop learning about new things stuck at home

One day when If leave my full-time job!

In-App purchases, no ads.

Exactly, the corporation can easily be looked up and the ownership information can be found.

Sometimes the little guy sticks it to the man!

40% a bit too high for Canada.

Plus a 105k a year salary from day job. Its enough to live on for a 27 year old.

Lots and lots of work! Go home at 6pm, work till midnight. Eventually it paid off for me but a lot of times I thought it was just digging a hole to nowhere.

Incorporate and use your corporation name as the App Store and Playstore publisher name

In-App purchase!

39% profit margin. Server costs $350 Google Cloud Hosted

New account because I don't want my employers knowing.

My sideproject on iOS and Android generates 1.1M a year. About 90-100k a month.

I'm still employed because the app runs on its own, very low maintenance, so might as well get a salary doing something else and learn new things
