An Independent Developer is a software creator who works on projects without being tied to a specific company or organization. They often create applications, games, or websites on their own or in small teams. This independence allows them to choose their projects, technologies, and work schedules, fostering creativity and innovation.
Many independent developers rely on platforms like GitHub for collaboration and version control, and they may distribute their products through app stores or their own websites. They often engage with communities on forums or social media to share knowledge, seek feedback, and promote their work.
