A few words about indie app business

hile ago, someone asked me for advice about starting an indie app business. So I’d given it some thought and wrote back a few points – and I thought it would be a good idea to put it out here for anyone else who’s thinking about doing this.

I grew up in a household that’s had computers ever since early 1990s – my dad had a small advertisement/DTP studio and so I’ve had some inclination towards those machines from a fairly young age. But I remember the joy in seeing people using my apps (back then, it was just a handful of users, we’re really talking a few dozen at most) and receiving a first check for something like $100 (for license codes sold over the period of several months). The advantages of this is that you really are the boss of things, you don’t need to (dis)agree on various aspects (codestyle, features, UI, …) and mainly you know where you are in life.
