Question – Have you created something original accidentally?

As the title describes - have you created anything that was financially succesful or useful as an accident or side-effect?

I once made a tool for a very rare case where my chainsaw-chain would get stuck and i had to make a small tool for it, turns out it was a great idea and people wondered what it was and i sold about 12 pieces of it. Made a small fortune out of nothing.

I turned a meetup whatsapp group in a touristic town (Rio de Janeiro) into a side business that's been going for the past 5 years.

This next summer I'm going to try make it bigger and hopefully make it my main business.

Tell us more about the chainsaw tool. Fighting with chains and tensioners put hair on my chest.
