THE ONE-PERSON FRAMEWORK IN PRACTICE
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
PlanGo had one developer until 2025. This was made possible through Rails, which allowed the developer to be fast and efficient. The company's apps combined have over 100,000 yearly downloads, all built and maintained by one Rails developer. This post discusses how PlanGo was developed, the lessons learned over 14 years of building as a solo technical founder, and PlanGo's future plans.
