Well, the term "indie hacker" means starting a business yeah. The difference with just "starting a business" is that the mindset is most of the time to build a small scale project that can be built and maintained alone.

I must be out of touch, I didn't know it was an established phrase to mean that. Thanks.

Not actually sure which came first, this site or the term, but indiehackers.com [0] is one of the main internet communities built around this.

Funny part is that indiehackers was purchased by stripe, meaning they likely ended up more financially successful than 99% of the startups posting on their site.

The term has been very much abused by SV grifters unfortunately. I've written about this before:
