how?

I want this

you always work for someone, but you can have multiple clients so you're not at the mercy of one. Even if you save up some money you have to think of ways to make it work - be it in rentals or owning a factory - you just serve different groups of people then.

bootstrapped saas / apple ecosystem apps

Leaving the ratrace to start a bootstrapped SaaS worked good for the first 5 years.

Now into year 6 of bootstrapping a SaaS.. I am in the same exact boat as OP. And I can't take time off, at least not enough time off to "fix" the burnout.

It's painful. I didn't realize selling apps is very less of building software. Sure market is important, but it's even less than "changing our type of person". If self-promotion or narcissism is not our type, we are doomed.

Is there someplace we can find out more? I’m very curious.

I bought indiedevstack.com to compile/blog on this but am some months away from getting going. You can follow one of my bizs for now I’ll announce there eventually @manabiSRS
