Adam Bard's recent work is a good example: http://adambard.com http://adambard.com
As is Kevin Lynagh's http://keminglabs.com http://keminglabs.com - He also made Denizen (I think) https://getdenizen.com/ https://getdenizen.com/
I have no idea if any of these are profitable, but at least you get some ideas. Searching "site:news.ycombinator.com microbusiness" also brings up some good examples, for instance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7367243 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7367243
- bsima 12y agoCandy Japan is a great example, and the creator regularly posts updates on his blog/here on HN
- bemmu 12y agoIt's not really a web tool though. But before that I made a widget which lets Facebook page fans vote who the biggest fan of a particular FB page is. Kind of an automatic competition that repeats each week. The winner is then posted on the FB page it is installed on. It was almost as big as Candy Japan is now. It's still running too, but I've let it languish since CJ has taken over my brain.
- bsima 12y agoHere are two more great resources: http://justinvincent.com/page/1421/bootstrappers-kickstarter-kit-no-investment-required http://justinvincent.com/page/1421/bootstrappers-kickstarter... http://microisv.com/ http://microisv.com/ - hasn't been updated in forever, but some good content I couldn't think of it when I wrote the above comment, but "microISV" is the term you want to search for. Stands for "micro independent software vendor"
- marktangotango 12y agoI wonder what happened to the microISV movement? It kind of dwindled out a few years ago. Now everyone talks about bootstrapping startups and lifestyle businesses. Seems very odd to me, unless these are all the same things?
