Yes, there are plenty of independent developers.

Pinboard¹ is by a single person, as is Marginalia² or Overcast³. For the last one check the Under the Radar podcast⁴ where two solo developers discuss matters related to indie development. Or search HN⁵.

Hi latexr, thank you for your answer, these projects are great :)

I think I mis-expressed myself in the original post, the work i was thinking about is more like coding projects commanded by clients, so that I can make immediate revenue from it. The examples you suggested seem more like personal projects.

Do you think it is possible to make reliable revenue from personal projects? If so I would definitely prefer working on these, but I had the idea that it would be a riskier way.
