Im always interested to hear success stories about how people have used Flex to solve a problem. I might have missed this story had it not been for one of my clients who has bought the software and is using it for mockups on a job I am working on.

“Peldi Guilizzoni, a lone software developer who’d built a web design mock-up tool called Balsamiq and who was opening up his financial records on his blog to show everyone how things were going.” – Readwriteweb.com

On a particular post Peldi has openly exposed how his software is doing financially. And its doing VERY well. Granted the blog post was just after the whole financial crisis.”I just recently surpassed $100,000 of revenue. Balsamiq has been in business for less than 5 months”. Great to hear a single developer can still go out and make a software that answers peoples problems and gets them paid at the same time.

Maybe one day I will drop the contracting gig for a few months and actually make one of the many ideas I have been kicking round in my head for a while.

Well done guys.
