Remote OK

Pieter Levels runs ~$1M/yr off one PHP script

Steph holds up Pieter Levels as the archetypal indie hacker: Nomad List and Remote OK each do roughly half a million a year, run almost entirely by him, with the whole stack famously powered by one PHP script.

“And Nomad List has grown a ton. Now, it does probably, I think, half a million a year. Then he expanded that to Remote OK, which also does around half a million a year, and it's all done through him. And then I think he contracts out his servers to one guy that he pays like $2,000 a month for or something.”
