$100k Revenue (as a Solopreneur)
by KyleIt's not quite the billion dollar exit that you'd read about on TechCrunch but as a solo indie hacker, this is a significant milestone for me.
Here's the full timeline:
2018: I started Gravity as an accidental side project to scratch my own itch and made a whopping total of $396 in revenue.
2019: I released a few updates and made enough passive income to cover rent and beer tokens.
2020: I started to focus my energy on it as my previous company was put on hold because of covid. I worked hard on the product + distribution.
2021: Revenue is now $100k+ and growing 100% YTD.
The best part is I'm a solo founder with no employees, no funding and spending nothing on marketing.
I'm certainly not special – anyone here can do this with the right opportunity :)

Awesome! Well done and congratulation! What did you learn during the process? For instance: why did you go with this idea? And what was the hardest part?

Thanks Jesper. I initially built a boilerplate to help me accelerate the development of my own products, and it quickly drew interest from other developers.
The biggest challenge is testing.

Congrats Kyle! I've been following along with you and Gravity for a long time and - as the maker of a similar product - it's been inspiring and helpful to see your progress over time.
Keep it up and thanks for sharing!

Congratulations!
Your app looks quite good. Though I love to code and wouldn't miss the opportunity to gain experience building everything on my own. But if I hadn't both backend and frontend experience or if I needed an app up und running quickly I would definitely check out your service. -

Congrats! I remember seeing this a while ago, I think around 2019.
Funny to think that a boilerplate could generate such high revenue.
