An indie maker is an independent creator or small team of creators who are focused on building and launching digital products or tools, often on the side while working a full-time job. Indie makers are driven by the desire to create something of their own and the freedom and flexibility that comes with being their own boss.

Indie makers can come from a variety of backgrounds and may have different levels of technical expertise. Some indie makers are developers who use their coding skills to build and launch their own products. Others may be non-technical and use nocode or lowcode platforms to build their products without writing code.

Indie makers are often focused on creating and launching digital products, such as software or apps, and may also be involved in online marketing and sales. The term "indie maker" has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly within the maker and startup communities, as more and more people are turning to the internet as a platform for building and launching their own products and businesses. A big trend in the space is makers building in public.
