A Site That Made $500 on Day One: Yihui Is Selling Taste to Your Agent

Some time ago I was scrolling Twitter and saw that Yihui — a well-known builder — had launched a new site.

Brand new. And on day one, it made $500.

Yihui was already earning seven figures a year without ever going global. Now he steps into the overseas market, barely lifts a finger, and it's $500 a day — more than half of the people doing overseas indie products make in a month. Genuinely talented people are infuriating.

So you might be wondering: what kind of site is it?

Yihui confirmed it himself: the site is skillry-dev — a site that sells taste. Its pitch: "The aesthetics are mine; the grunt work is your agent's." If that sounds interesting, go check it out.

Why do the big players make money look this easy? Like breathing.

But a word of caution: Yihui is an influencer, and this is a brand site — so on promotion he has a real edge: brand premium, existing channels, distribution most of us don't have.

Still, convincing that many strangers to pay up means the product genuinely has something. If you're curious, it's worth researching.
