I've been developing and maintaining https://canine.sh and https://hellocsv.github.io/HelloCSV/ for some time now, and its really odd what pops up when you google these.

Neither of these projects anything requiring payment anywhere, but tons of sites pop up trying to "sell" these projects. I wouldn't even know what that means and I'm kind of tempted to drop in a credit card to see what happens. Would they auto send you a link to the public repo?

Most of it is quite lazy and haven't quite kept up with modern AI capabilities. They mostly just scrape the text I wrote, and present it with some screenshots that I created. I can imagine a future where

- really nice landing pages are generated

- the product is entirely rebranded

- marketing is automated (linkedin, google ads, etc)

and someone can develop some autonomous system that basically finds high quality, yet unknown open source projects, and redeploys it and sells it online for actual money.
