Providing For People

I want to make a living writing software the solves real problems for real people. I want these tools for myself, and I want to be able to share them with my community. I don’t want to write gimmicky subscription web products. I don’t want to manage a fleet of user databases. I want to make lots of simple, weird, powerful, and good apps and I want them to be easy to use to their maximum benefit.

If I can support myself by writing software – maybe running a solid provider myself – and I can help more people do the same, that’s the future I want. I want all the money currently locked up in the big platforms to be more evenly distributed to smaller, independent developers being directly supported by their audiences. This feels like the way to do that.
