I am not going to answer your question since I don't have any side projects. But, I think the similar question was asked by a HN user a month ago. Ah, here is the thread.
Just silly games I make in my free time. Ever wanted to play wordle and snake at the same time? I got you. That connect-the-pipe game, but also tetris? Sure!
They are mostly novelty games, with a focus on fun-to-make instead of fun-to-play.
I have yet to try to monetize it, but https://www.techengineering.io/ is generating 0$ at the moment. There is potential for getting ads on this site, but it is not something I am putting any time into at the moment.
I have a developer podcast in Swedish (https://kompilator.se) that I initially wanted to monetize but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. It has netted me a chance to talk to interesting people, build my personal brand, get rid of my fear of speaking and even gotten me a few new friends.
I have a stupidly simple site (https://statligskatt.se) that says where the National tax cutoff is this year, because I kept forgetting it when making prognoses for my business. Around important tax dates in Sweden, it gets a few thousand hits.
You have a communication issue I think. It took me some time to realise you didn't mean present, as in presentation. Dumb your homepage down, it may be too clever. Great idea though :-)
Thank you for pointing this out, me being not a native speaker this possibility has not occured to me. I will think about re-designing or re-naming the project.
A bit of context: Initially, the project's name was "text2product.com", but then someone created a very similar website replacing the 2 with to and I was basically forced to rename my project.
Master of creating projects that have been monetized but generate $0 a month due to lack of advertising but also offering a free version.. people love free.

Hopefully, above thread also gives you some insight.
