For years, I’ve seen references to “indie” (independent) software developers, but never considered myself one. I’ve never had to rely on sales of my own software as I’ve been an independent contractor without my own products (that brought in any significant amount of income) for almost five years. However, this past year, ReceiptWallet has started to change that; I’m not about to give up my day job, but in an exchange with another developer today, he referred to both of us as “indie” developers. I guess I am an independent developer.
