Show HN: I made 200 USD passively as a 16yo developer

Excel Tutor is my second SaaS, in the past two weeks, where I have generated over 200USD passive income alone.

Hey, I am a 16 year old developer based in Hong Kong and I've been trying to make successful SaaS's for the past 2 years. And it's only now worked. I built an MVP app called ExcelTutor.pro!

ExcelTutor is an AI-driven assistant designed to supercharge productivity within Excel. It automates complex formula generation, accelerates data analysis, and delivers clear, actionable insights with ease. Built for professionals and teams, ExcelTutor integrates seamlessly into existing workflows to eliminate manual spreadsheet tasks and reduce errors—empowering smarter, faster decision-making.
