It's also really inspiring to see that the author managed to get it done working mostly alone as I understood. For me it was always the problem - if I can't get someone on board with me for some project, it stops me even if I would really love to work on it.

Lynne here! I wrote this article and hope I didn't make it sound like I did it all alone. I had a lot of help, guidance, mentorship, and support along the way.

While I don't have a cofounder or someone who is working alongside me on Key Values, I absolutely would not have gotten here without help. Even without a cofounder, people can (and should!) find help, guidance, mentorship, and support from forums like Indie Hackers and dev.to.

Thanks for the response, Lynne! Yeah, I read that you had to meet/talk/collaborate with different people and networking was really important part of your project. But what excited me was that how you turned the idea you love into the web-service, how you stayed motivated (even though as you said you don't have a co-founder), how you managed networking - these are wonderful examples to be inspired by (at least for me)!
