There's a lot of things like that, which were made by one person, or a small company, right?
Internet Archive is in the same category. So was Flash.
It's kind of amazing to think that, if it weren't for those people (or if they'd had a bit less conviction in their beliefs), we might live in a world without these wonders!
It also makes me wonder what else we might have gotten, but didn't. (Or more constructively, what else ought to exist, but nobody's built it yet!)
