I don't know if this is the case with everyone or just me. Earlier I used to work on lots and lots of side projects, ship them, advertise them, only to earn few bucks out of it but lots of satisfaction. But, since I have discovered DAT, I am earning ( with honest, dedicated, and high quality ) way more as side income than before. This has made me less motivated for the side projects and "start a business" mindset. I would really like some guidance here.

Since last two weeks, I am not getting any new coding project. Want to undestand if this is just with me (dropped out of the only available project) or the case in general?

and the main thing is - I like the learning process. I have used few process in my day-job which has improved the agentic coding experience.

Android Testers on reddit has been a good channel for testing. Got this app published. Only happy feelings.

Last week, I was getting high paying projects on my dashboard but during my day work hours. Projects popped up daily at 9am in the morning and vanished at 3PM. I couldn't do even a single task. And this week, I am not getting any task. Is not picking tasks continuously one of the metrics to allocate new projects?

it's so frustrating to see high paying projects available during the day-time and during my main job and nothing during the evening when I get home from work. :(

Steps:

2. Become the tester https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.thecoreengineer.tetrisofwords

3. Install the game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thecoreengineer.tetrisofwords

I will become your tester as well.

Thanks :)

I joined in the beginning of May'26, got some qualification projects, some evaluating other's tasks, paid training, and notification for background verification. Since then I am not getting any project on my dashboard. It has been a week. Is this normal?

For vibe-coders and anyone looking to monetize their app, integrating with payment gateways can be the biggest pain-point.

I have experienced this firsthand and developed a modular tool designed to assist Indian vibe-coders in integrating Razorpay as a payment gateway into their Firebase projects. Check out the Razorpay Firebase Extension: https://github.com/rajivnayanc/firebase-razorpay-extension

The simplest way to deploy a vibe-coded app is through Firebase or Supabase. While Firebase offers a Stripe extension as a plug-and-play solution, Stripe is currently invite-only for individual developers and Indian businesses. Razorpay serves as a valuable alternative, but integrating a payment gateway involves numerous security considerations, including idempotency, factual correctness, auditing, and webhook deliveries. This extension has been created with best practices, thorough research, and system design in mind.

Disclaimer: Google Firebase is not accepting new publishers at this time, so manual installation of the extension in Firebase projects is necessary (or you can ask an AI agent to assist). Please review the code for any issues and feel free to raise feature requests.

Detailed documentation: https://rajivnayanc.github.io/firebase-razorpay-extension

Coming up next:

1. Razorpay-Firebase web SDK to simplify the process further.
2. Blogs and videos on how to use this extension.
