The figures

$55k — James Dunn paired GPS trackers with a team that physically goes out and recovers stolen bikes, which is precisely the unpleasant part nobody wants to copy, and the thing runs at $55k MRR. →
$29 — Before writing a contract-comparison tool, one builder handled three to ten comparisons by hand at $29 a document, and only turned the routine into software once the same people kept coming back and paying for it. →
9x — Open Code Review reports roughly 9x lower token consumption than general-purpose agents while holding accuracy, which suggests that a specialized agent aimed at one job often beats a heavy generalist on the only axis an indie developer can afford to optimize. →
10,000 tokens — Long coding sessions push entire directory trees into the prompt on every iteration, so gateways have started applying compression algorithms such as RTK and Caveman, which OmniRoute reports can shrink 10,000 tokens to 1,080. →
$10,000 — Sam Shore handed roughly two-thirds of Typeshare’s equity to two people with established audiences, Dickie and Cole, and monthly revenue moved from $10,000 to $15,000 inside 30 days. →
90% — AI branding tools like Miora let indie developers cut design costs by 90%. →
$500 — Using AI tools to batch generate local SEO content reduces development costs for independent developers, accelerating website ranking on Google, after which the optimized site can be rented to local businesses for monthly revenue ranging from $500 to $3,000. →
$10,000 — Sam Shore’s experience with Typeshare, which shows how sharing equity with KOLs can accelerate growth, is a prime example; by granting three-fifths of his company’s stock to two influential figures, he achieved a remarkable increase in monthly revenue, jumping from $10,000 to $15,000 in only 30 days. →
