Thanks for that link. I've often found myself wanting to do minimal image work, and this is the first time i see something really usable.

A single developer who put in 7000 hours before he made a cent. It was a hobby project he was passionate about.

He thankfully now makes a comfortable living from it.

It's one of my favourite indie-hacker-style stories, as the hacker was motivated by his intrinsic joy of making something.

I think this is less uncommon for bootstrapped companies than a lot of people assume. E.g. Patrick Campbell from ProfitWell has a similar story.

Ironically that this is also how Photoshop started.
