Ask HN: Do I have to know in advance on how to make money from a side project?

Ask HN: Do I have to know in advance on how to make money from a side project? 3 by loboda_ro | 1 comments on Hacker News. Many YC videos and Paul Graham's essays emphasize the value of discovering startup ideas organically, often through building side projects that you are interested in.

Braintree Payments (PayPal) shutting down their Marketplace service Dec 2023 2 by jjeaff | 0 comments on Hacker News. I noticed a small alert text on the dashboard of my Braintree Payments account that Paypal is shutting down their Braintree Marketplace service. I believe Stripe Connect is an equivalent service. It allows you to quickly onboard people who are selling their own products/services and it handles the deposits to the individual seller accounts as well as tax filings. Just thought I would post this here, because this is the first time hearing about it and I will have until December 15 to find an alternative and migrate.
