Great writeup, though I have to be completely honest here and say that I love Patrick's writeups for independent hackers, makers, micropreneurs, bootstrappers etc. His writings and practical case studies gave me the power, as a nobody, to make tens of thousands of dollars in order to be more with my wife and child, while doing the work I love. I kind of miss those essays.

Really happy to have helped. That kind of company is pretty near and dear to my heart, for all the obvious reasons, and it is very, very in scope for us at Stripe Atlas. Not everything we publish will be laser-targeted to the needs of the Italian diner on the Internet, just like not everything will be appropriate for the want-to-ride-a-rocket-ship folks, but I hope you like some of the stuff coming down the pipe over the next few months.
Have you written anything about your experience executing whatever you did to make that happen? I would be interested in hearing more, I always like hearing stories about how developers think of something, make it, and then generate revenue from it. Especially if you were able to make it happen as one person.
