#5Very interesting, Michael, thanks for sharing! As a founder and bootstrapper myself, I really relate to parts of your post (well, not so much to that 2000% jump in profit... haha, maybe one day).
I'd like to understand the steps leading up to these six years. What motivated you to create that particular product? was it simply something that interested you and that you believed had potential? What was the goal when you created TinyPilot? Thanks!

No question, always nice to read your yearly updates.
Last year looked really promising , your revenue already high but profits not there yet, but I'm happy to see you turned a nice profit this year! Congratulations!

in what sense is it getting worse? While there may be local minima, I'd argue that its the best its ever been. News has always been pessimistic because negative emotions are easier to trigger to drive attention which pays the bills.
