#32Minecraft (actually 2 people?), rollercoaster tycoon (written in assembly), the first version of the Facebook, ape (a plasmid editor), Stardew valley, onward VR(??).

#36Quentin Zervaas is the creator of the Streaks habit-tracking app (https://streaksapp.com), which I find to be excellent and extremely well thought-out. I’m not sure if he’s still working independently or has a team.

#38Redis I would say, by Salvatore Sanfilippo ( https://github.com/antirez )
OG redis was great. I think post-antirez it has grown too complex.
I'd be interested in a redis-lite fork.

#39Total Commander seems to be a one-man effort. Similarly, Sublime Editor is two people IIRC?
