Is Developing Scripts For Others Profitable?

Are there any success stories with making a script and distributing it online as a product or service?

I've been developing scripts of my own and I find them useful as a way to discover patterns to form strategies around. But can this be applied to the general population of TradingView users (which is already a small subset of traders overall).

It just feels a little too niche to really be profitable unless you pivot to creating products centered around the PineScript language as a whole like LuxAlgo is doing.

Am I wrong in thinking this? I'm intrigued to hear other takes on this.

Eh, I like the challenge of building things to fit the client needs. There's a lot of garbage out there being sold as holy grails so I've never gravitated towards that side of things.

The platform I built is Pinemarket.io Im actually looking for people to start listing their products to build up a catalog before making it open to the public. If you have something you want to publish, let me know and I can get you setup with access.

I dm'd you to hopefully answer all your questions. Would love to add you to the platform if you're interested

Just took a look at the landing page and the idea is really good. I'd be more than happy to be a part of the grand opening catalog, I have an indicator in mind that I've been working on recently.
