Responding to ShipFast's collapse from $125k/mo (May 2024) to $2k/mo (Oct 2026), Marc Lou says "never bet your whole life on a single product." A reply notes his newer products TrustMRR and DataFast are now pulling a combined $84k/month. Lesson: indie developer income relies on rotating product portfolios, not one evergreen hit.
