I'm Rik, a full-time indie product developer dad from The Netherlands. 🧔🧀
Been working as a web developer and designer for about 15 years. A couple of years ago I decided to start freelancing and save some money so I could take a chance at making a full-time income from selling web plugins. I work from home so I can spend lots of time with my kids (a 1-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son, crazy times). Also, I love snowboarding 🏂
Mid 2017 half my income came from selling web plugins on Envato, and the other half from client work. Near the end of 2018 I released Doka.js and it's starting to look like Doka is raising my product income to almost enough to stop client work and focus on products full-time.
I love writing about web development and have a dusty own blog. To compensate for the commercial plugins I sell (it always makes me feel like I'm promoting my own work) I also build fun and useful open source plugins like FilePond.js and Shiny.js.
I'll most likely write about little tips and tricks I use in my products and how to use my open source products (and maybe one of my commercial products) in your projects.
