just wanted to say the actual mind mapping tool the author is building has is a stylish and cozy piece of software. The wii shop music remix attached to the pricing card made me grin.

thanks I never know how much to self promote on HN :)

if anyone else is looking for the mind-mapping software I build, it's at https://kinopio.club and there's no sign up required to use it

I think your vision aligns with some of the new bootstraping-friendly funding options like: TinySeed[1], CalmFund[2], Indie.vc, Earnest Captiol, etc. https://tinyseed.com/ https://calmfund.com/

Thanks ozten, ya I agree these both sound interesting and I'll investigate more

I’m in a similar boat with https://mailpace.com No funding, just a simple business that I enjoy building. If you create great software that delights your users, what more do you need?

Very nice landing page and product.

Can’t help but ask, do you really not have an API for Java? Just seems strange that much smaller languages have example codes, yet such a behemoth doesn’t.

We don’t have a Java library, yet, to be honest I haven’t worked with Java in 10 years. But we’ll build one soon, watch this space!

I love this, and you can consider Adama as organic ( https://www.adama-platform.com ).

Basically, I'm retired and focused on building up a few products. My first step is a deep-deep investment in a back-end superpower. I'm wandering with no real user-focused goals, and the key reason it is early access is that I want to get some feedback. I am slowly working on a few improvements and building a roadmap for some neat things that I want to try, but I'm enjoying life now (and recovering physically).

I'm tinkering with my next step which is a new reactive front-end template system which binds to my super back-end. I have a few theories about getting user value since I am basically do 3-5 start-ups in one.

Appreciate the write up, and I'll integrate some of the language in how I present my "organic" software.

we don't talk about this enough, or ever, but being retired and building software is kind of like a super power in this case
