I'm looking to build out some ideas I have for FF and/or Chrome extensions. I'm looking for way to eventually build a business around these and I was wondering if there were any of you that knew of ways to monetize (reoccurring monthly payments, single purchase, or freemium is what I'm mostly looking at, though I'm open to others). I'm currently clueless on how to bill or set up "pro" versions of extensions.

Any links to where I could research more would also be of help. Also, any general advice about this space would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I was surprisingly entertained. The coding sessions and tech speak were obviously my favorite part.

Hi HN community,

Getset helps you find the cheapest method of travel, whether by air, bus, or driving, to get to your destination. I got the idea from the frustration I experienced going to different sites and manually calculating and comparing the costs of travel (should I drive there, or take the bus? Train or plane?). I'd like to one day turn it into a monetizeable venture, but it's mainly meant as a learning tool to help me obtain the skills necessary to build my own start up in the near future.

I've been teaching myself how to program via this project for the past 7 months or so part-time. It's a rails app (no surprise there), and I would greatly appreciate your feedback (technical, marketing, monetization, and features).

I know that there are a number of issues with it in its current state, but I hope that it provides some value to you. As this is the first thing I've actually built, please be gentle with the feedback! :-)

Thanks a bunch!
