In addition to what others have said, which I agree with, I want to point out one other small difference that makes me much more interested in IH than your site...the focus on an individual developer rather than a startup.
I've been through startups and know much of the work that it entails. I know (roughly) how much of my life I'm going to have to devote to that idea and the pain of fundraising/bootstrapping. But I've never had a revenue-generating side project or lifestyle business, so it's great to see examples of that and concrete numbers on how much those types of projects can generate. I'm far less interested in this kind of information at the level of a startup than I am at an individual level since I'm far more likely to put something together over the course of a few weekends and see if it can make enough for me to quit my day job rather than to opt into the commitment needed to do a startup.
I agree. Being a developer myself and knowing how hard is to make a successful side project, it is definitely more inspiring seeing those stories from solo developers like us working hard to become profitable.
Actually I have a mixture of young bootstrapped startups that were side projects just months ago like Nomad List (by levelsio), BugMuncher, StoreMapper, ... And other more stable startups like Buffer, Baremetrics, Groove, ... that are also very inspiring in my opinion.
I should add some filters asap to be able to filter by Bootstrapped vs Founded, Work Remotely vs Colocated, etc.
Thanks a lot for your comment! Great point mentioned.
