Turning code into business
A well-built app and a well-run business are two different things. NexaLab documents the trial and error of turning tech experiments into sustainable services.
Monetization experiments
Attempts (and results) at turning a side project into real revenue via AdSense, subscriptions, API sales, and more
From running Google AdSense to using free utilities (like the AI quote generator and profit calculator) to draw and convert traffic β these are experiments I've actually run, results included. Not a highlight reel, but the real numbers you run into along the way: ad approval reviews, early traffic, conversion rates.
AI Γ niche markets
How to tackle small-but-clear-problem markets β like workflow automation β with AI
Picking markets that are small but have a clear problem, and solving them with AI. The focus is validating whether you can find real users without competing head-on with big platforms.
Surviving as a solo developer
The decisions and priorities a developer faces when handling planning, development, and operations alone
Planning, development, deployment, and operations β down to i18n and admin tooling β all the priorities and trade-offs you have to decide on alone, without a team. I share the judgment calls behind what got built first and what got cut.
Why can you trust these examples?
Every idea here isn't just a thought experiment β I've actually built and run each one in production. From inserting Google AdSense ads to using free tools like the AI Quote Generator and Profit Calculator to bring in traffic, I share the real numbers: approval reviews, early traffic, conversion rates β nothing dressed up to look better than it was.
What does this category cover?
This category covers what AI can actually turn into a business. I pick niche problems where the market is small but the pain is real, then work through validating a monetization idea and actually running it, recording the reasoning behind each call along the way.
