Bonus. Has the best twitter there is.
All of them have interviews online for you to learn about their process.
The nice thing about having a single person is that you get to define Profitable as "income minus server expenses" rather than "income minus server expenses and everybody else's fixed salary". You also, if you prefer, may choose to define your own salary as "income minus server expenses", which gets to be a very nice thing after a while.
There are lots of other nice things about running a business by one's self. Dig around for old threads here on the topic for more examples.
Very little support requests and almost all of the development is being paid for by various customers.
When this product was created? How many customers do you have? How do you market your product?
Thanks!
Also, if you're a dev, did you notice it has an api? https://www.printmosaic.com/api
