@danielpunkass I worry what seems like an arbitrarily narrow definition of "indie" in that post. What does "indie" mean, anymore?
People have asked for years why there's no MarsEdit for iOS. A big reason? My livelihood depends on Mac. http://inessential.com/2014/07/25/who_at_the_table_is_an_indie_ios_develop …

@siegel I don’t think there has ever been any consensus on that point! - View other replies

@danielpunkass@siegel I used to think I was "indie" despite being salaried, but when the company is above 50 people now, maybe not so much. -
@gregtitus@danielpunkass I'm salaried, too. :-) (We formed S-corp before LLC was an option.)

@danielpunkass I make about 80-90% of my income as an indie developer from iOS, Mac is a small part nowadays. Do I count? - View other replies

@jamesthomson Of course, and ... Interesting.

@danielpunkass me! Still Indie. 5 years now -
@lesmond Congrats! -
@danielpunkass thanks. There are less and less out there these days. The market has changed a huge amount in that time.

@danielpunkass Seems like an oversight to not even mention games, even if only to say "ok other than games". -
@mrgan@danielpunkass The games market is so saturated every time I think of doing my own game I know it’ll be crowded out. -
@colincornaby@danielpunkass Most definitely. It's almost wholly dependent on prior success and mad luck.

@danielpunkass the race-to-the-bottom in pricing on mobile makes it very challenging to make a living there. A hit driven business. -
@GeekAndDad@danielpunkass indeed. Which is why contracting is so popular for iOS; it puts the risk on someone else.

@danielpunkass@inessential What about the tapbots fellas? -
@danielpunkass The article is more right than even it knows. It mentions Marco but he doesn't count. -
@danielpunkass I used to make more from a couple iOS apps than my Mac app. But it seems luck plays a big part.
