I started work on https://getcorrello.com (a dashboard for Scrum and Kanban teams using Trello) 2 years ago. It has covered household costs since the middle of last year. I am still a solo founder, looking to grow the business to do more than just cover costs and probably make a hire or two this year.

I've read these posts for a while on HN, it's nice to be able to reply to one finally :)

congrats in your success! The project management space is incredibly crowded. I'm curious to hear how you marketed and differentiated yourself?

Thanks :)

Luckily when I started out the plugins-for-trello space was very uncluttered. It was mostly abandonware and github projects created by developers over a weekend. So since Corrello is exclusively aimed at Trello teams and was one of the only tools being built fulltime just for that I have been able to piggy back on their success without a lot of serious competition. There is some competition and I expect more will come as others realise the Trello platform is a viable place to build a business but I think that can only be a good thing really.
