Little is always relative. I know people who manage to make enough to not have any other source of income, although they are not well off. Other people slave away for years with only a few dollars to show.

Quality == Cash. It's that simple.

If it's a good product worth selling, then sell it.
If it's an experimental/project product, then OS it.

But overall, it depends on how much you put into it, and how much can the consumer take from it.

It is a really small project at the moment. It is based on a good idea and you can read more about it here. I have decided to just accept donations for this program and release the source code to those who can prove they would really want to work on the project to expand it further. I will probably upload the Release version of the software in AsmCommunity, here and also in my website.

Nice idea... :wink:
The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd.
The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places

A few of the members there do quite well. Lots of links about selling software and the life of independent programmers, which is always interesting.
