Alex Cretney

I'm a solo developer trading under MonkeyDoDev. My main project is Buck The Critics, a social discovery and review app that pulls movies, TV, games and books into one place and recommends things based on your friends' ratings rather than bots or paid critics. I'm here to swap notes with other indie founders on building, launching and growing without a team.
