我关注的独立开发者们

独立开发者，AKA indie makers, solo developers, or quite-my-job makers，是一群特别的人。他们或厌倦了大厂上班做重复性的工作，或不甘于只作为别人设计的实现者，或想要挑战自己的创造力、寻求被动收入甚至实现财务自由，初始的动机虽然各异，但却有一个共同点：不满足于一件事情已有的做法和存在方式，想用自己的手去改变和创造，实现心中那个理想的产品。

An indie maker is an independent creator. They build projects with their own resources, often without funding, taking care of all aspects: development, design, marketing…

独立开发者有着两个特质，勇气和追求。放弃待遇优渥的工作，投身不确定的未来，是勇气；对已有的产品不满，用更高的标准要求打磨，则是追求。

我一直关注着一些独立开发者们，怀着敬意欣赏他们的作品，为他们的成就欢呼喝彩，从他们身上汲取勇气和追求的养分，让踏上同样道路的自己得到志同道合者的陪伴。这篇文章将我所知的独立开发者们列举出来1，让更多的人能看到他们的经历和作品，获得启发。

如果看到本文的你也是一位独立开发者（或者认识某位），欢迎在评论和推文中分享你的经历和作品。

本文列举的独立开发者都分享过自己的经历，这是对我来讲特别重要的一点，但并不是只有分享经历的独立开发者才值得关注。每个独立开发者都是人间宝藏。 ↩︎

但正如我的一个推文所说，专注于具体创作的人在输出经验方面的精力会比较少 https://twitter.com/novoreorx/status/1528309074550747138 ↩︎
