Ask HN: Tiny end to end hobby projects that turned big?

6 pointsby noob_engover 1 year ago
The most recent example I can recall is that of Photopea. It was created by one person as a uni student to solve a small problem. Now it is used by millions. The founder recently launched another project Vectorpea. It is a bunch of JS files that load in your browser and after than you can even work offline. Server costs are minimum. You can read the detailed interview here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.failory.com&#x2F;interview&#x2F;photopea<p>What are some other examples of solo founders making end to end systems without any bloat and later making it big?<p>P.S.: Needn&#x27;t be only software projects.

I don’t think Photopea or Vectorpea qualifies as tiny, there’s a lot of work there to make the base product.
