I made the move to become a solo developer building my own apps in Apr 2022. Here are the steps I took: - Started building my own project on weekends while working full-time last year. - Personal project got some traction at end of the year (organic growth and good reviews). - Saw story on LinkedIn of some people quitting their jobs and becoming indie dev and got inspired. - Added ads in my app and started generating revenue ($1 a day). - Quit job at end of March. I had saved up about 3-6 years of runway (counting my average daily expenses). - Joined an incubator by chance, hoping to find a co-founder, but didn't succeed. - Registered a business (sole proprietorship) at end of May. Only cost around $200. - Added in-app purchase in the app in June. - Ran ad campaigns of $500 budget and generated $220 in revenue in June. $140 from in-app purchase, $80 from ads. - Currently building and planning to launch next project in Aug. My background is a senior frontend engineer in a big tech company. Previous job was mostly about managing contractors, interns and some internal experimental projects.
