winkv··on Show HN: We made a web app that lets you connect your analytics apps
you can give this a try https://docs.airbyte.io/integrations for integrations it is open source, it will save you some effort on integration and you would be able to provide wider range of sources out of the box.
winkv··on Show HN: Self Hosted Netlify Clone
you can try it on any of the cloud vm's (aws,gcp,linode,azure etc.) and than shut it down if you don't like. Or you can try it on your local machine with vm.

However you make a good point. When commercial version is released i will make sure that source code is available for audit by purchaser for additional fees.

winkv··on Ask HN: How to find problems to build a business around?
subscribe to oppsdaily( http://oppsdaily.com/ ) and nugget one ( https://nugget.one ) also pay them something so that the good service continues..
winkv··on Show HN: Get emailed whenever your brand is mentioned on Hacker News or Reddit
i think you should consider making a profitable product out of it instead of open sourcing it(i know we are good samritans :) ). It can be used as marketing tool. Brands will subscribe to your service and will be informed when their brand name appears on site. This can than be used for damage control if it involves bad press or marketing for e.g answering questions giving discount etc. if someone shows interest.
winkv··on Ask HN: I am doing $2M annually as a solopreneur and need your help
creating quality content is not easy but you have a good start. I think you should adopt a publisher model, you already have captive audience in terms of paying customers for your niche. You can find out what else would be relevant to your customers and design a curriculum around it, no content, just the table of content for your next course. You might as well publish it to your website in coming soon section and give early bird discount(which would guarantee paying customer and fund the development of course.) if you don't get any customers don't go further in developing that course. Outsource the research on material for your TOC to virtual assistants, they will be responsible for curating and providing you the quality material. Once you have all these you can as well hire an intern with good communication skills who is interested in this course (say machine learning) but may not have the knowledge. Groom him and ask him to come up with writeup for your TOC. Hier high paid thought leader for this course as identified by your assistants while doing the research and let him be the editor for the content. RESIST any attempt to do it yourself if intern/assistants are not able to do it the way you want, just be patient. Rinse and repeat and send me 1M$ that you make from your next niche ;-)

winkv··on Ask HN: Android GPU
that depends on how the hardware vendor has implemented the support for it. Opengl es is almost always offloaded to a gpu and java bindings for the same are also available so u can use them in your ui. As far as general android ui is concerned it is rendered using skia,a graphics library,it can be configured to use gpu via opengl but most hardware vendors don't do it. so in general android ui is not rendered using gpu but it depends on hw implementation.....pardon me for english,its not my native language.
winkv··on Tell HN: Never share your ideas
Be a sports,try to work on ur idea...let them market it first...learn from their mistake and compete...may be they r better coders but biz is more than coding..."steve jobs" was put out from his own company once....its not that bad really...
