Small tech

I like the Small Tech term. Related would be the Indie Web as well, or at least a tangent.

Role models matter. So I made a list of small companies that I admire. Neither giants nor startups - just people making a living writing software on their own terms.

I use three of these, and tarsnap I hadn't heard of but sounds very good. I would add to this list micro.blog, blot, and Buttondown.

Now, for business use these solopreneur services may not be great solutions. When just one person runs the service you cannot expect 24x7 support for example. But I have biased my personal services toward these. All of the services I use to publish my blog, send my newsletter, and manage my bookmarks are all solo companies.
