no shortcuts: the servers are built from parts to exact specs for the software (no S3!); a clustered file system (that stores files using filename + user + date/time.. so complete file history); webdav server.. the website is powered by my own engine.
I'am working on Kettik, a blogging + content/services monetization platform for travellers. The landing page is pretty bare (on purpose) so i'll link to a user profile page (mine) which should give you a better overview of the site.
It started as hobby when i quit my job couple of years back and wanted to travel the world & blog about it. I set out wanting to become a travel photographer but instead i found myself spending more time on the site, learning on the go and hacking it together bit by bit (this the first & only website i've ever built).
Now it has come to a point where i believe i could turn it into a viable startup. But the transition from a 1-man hobby/startup to a proper business seems to be quite a daunting prospect, especially since i hail from an environment with little or no startup culture.
I'am using Font Awesome (http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/). Thanks for the heads up i'll look into the issue, luckily its occurring for me as well on Firefox, so should be easy to fix (hopefully :)
It's a media player for web. Or chrome, but i am working on moving it to web. A replacement for background media player and a user dashboard and notifications system. (Dashboard work is not released yet)

Can you guys list your one-man startup here?

Just launched 3 weeks ago.

Looks nice. Are you perhaps using a symbol font that's not loading for me? I'm getting unicode placeholders in many places in the page.

Kind of old, but in it's time PlentyOfFish.com was 1-man startup. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlentyofFish
I would love to get a list of 1-man-startup/companies and their experiences, but chances are that these guys are way too too busy to blog about it.

Here is mine : http://www.efficontrol.com
Not my first startup. I have come to have up to 10 employees and truly being a 1-man-startup I feel more fulfilled.
An opportunity to spam my project? Sold. https://www.brianstaskforce.com/
I'm doing http://www.makeplans.net/ (online appointment booking)
But you are three, right?

In practice just one. The two others are too busy making money developing iOS-apps.
Not a startup yet, but a side-project: www.skejule.com
Side project here too - www.gloopsh.com
Well, I have one: www.elmalabarista.com
www.dealma.com.br, a tool for being a better friend, but it is in portuguese, as I am in Brazil.
