I'VE BUILT MY FIRST SUCCESSFUL SIDE PROJECT, AND I HATE IT

This post explains how a developer built a successful side project that earned them over $15,000. The project was a TradingView indicator that users had to pay to access. Throughout the project, the developer encountered issues such as people constantly trying to get the product for free and fraud from 'customers'.
