- OptionX 7y agoThat was the first thing I tried, but since the only relevant hit is the indiehackers side leads me to believe its s made up term and not actually a thing, and I wanted to confirm that. But thank you for your informative reply nonetheless, obvious you put a lot of effort in it!

- tomhoward 7y agoIt's explained here: https://www.indiehackers.com/about https://www.indiehackers.com/about It largely refers to software developers who make a living from one-or-more revenue-generating businesses they've built themselves. This type of person is distinct from people who are employed full-time (or on a long-term contract) or who fund a business with major outside investment. The key values of the indie-hacker community seem to be around building sustainable businesses that can fund an individual or small team to build valuable products for a small-but-substantial niche of customers, as distinct from the "boom or bust" approach of VC-funded, rapid-growth-focused startups.
