Jeremy and Jess interview indie developers and small business owners who share a deep passion for the Rails framework. These creators bring hustle, creativity, and dedication to building businesses that are nimble, bootstrapped, and laser-focused on delivering quality. They tackle challenges head-on, sharing how they overcome obstacles to create profitable, sustainable enterprises.

Indie 
You might be an army of one or part of a small, agile team of bootstrapped entrepreneurs. Whether you're a solo solopreneur or leading a tight-knit crew, you value independence and self-sufficiency.

Rails 
As a Rails developer, you love the craft of coding and couldn’t imagine building your business on any other framework. Rails is more than just a tool – it’s your trusted partner in every project, fueling your creativity and innovation.

Business 
You’re driven by entrepreneurship. Whether you’re building a SaaS, productized service, agency, or community, you thrive in environments where you can pivot, experiment, and grow. Your business may be small, but it’s efficient, profitable, and resilient – far removed from the world of venture capital, big corporations, and startup culture.

If this resonates with you, subscribe to Indie Rails and join us on this journey. We’d love to hear what you’re building!
