Jake Manger tweets that he earned about $5,886 AUD in April from HowToConvert.co, a website/app he launched the previous month 
He writes…
It does more than 3000 document, video, image and audio conversions locally.
Today I’m celebrating reaching over 800 paying users. I made everything from the logo and the code to the marketing.
What got me my most users was a launch post that reached the top 10 posts of all time on r/macapps (it’s now 14th).
He adds in the launch post 
There are plenty of file conversion sites, but when you use them, you’re sending your files and data to their servers. I didn’t like that and I wanted to use local tools but with a drag and drop app, so non-programmers could use it!
Great example of identifying an unsolved problem in a competitive niche, and building a profitable solution 
What popular apps or sites do you use?
What don’t you like about them?
Could you build and monetize a solution?
