Photopea is made by a single developer. https://blog.photopea.com/creating-photopea.html https://blog.photopea.com/creating-photopea.html

  A single developer who put in 7000 hours before he made a cent. It was a hobby project he was passionate about. He thankfully now makes a comfortable living from it. It's one of my favourite indie-hacker-style stories, as the hacker was motivated by his intrinsic joy of making something. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/9urjmg/i_made_a_free_alternative_to_photoshop_that_is/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/9urjmg/i_made_a_free_...

    > A single developer who put in 7000 hours before he made a cent. I think this is less uncommon for bootstrapped companies than a lot of people assume. E.g. Patrick Campbell from ProfitWell has a similar story.

      Ironically that this is also how Photoshop started.
