Upcoming AmA with Takuya M: "I built a niche Markdown note-taking app that earns 8k MRR. I love to be small. My name is Takuya. AMA!"

EDIT: AmA is live here!​

Who is the guest​

I'm Takuya Matsuyama, a solo developer based in Japan.

I've been building a cross-platform Markdown note-taking app called Inkdrop (https://www.inkdrop.app/) since 2016 alone, which makes a comfortable earning (around 8k MRR) now.

I'm sharing what I learned through this project on my blog (https://blog.inkdrop.info/) and YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/c/devaslife) to attract users and to keep attracting the existing users.

I have 11k followers on my Japanese Twitter account (https://twitter.com/craftzdog) and 3k followers on my English account (https://twitter.com/inkdrop_app).

I love to be alone and small because it gives me tranquility.

@clmorgan As you said, this is fairly niche. When (or what) gave you the confidence to go full-time?
