Should I start a software business?

Would it be worth starting a software business with just myself? I wonder if anybody would take my products seriously when they find out it's really just a one-man band.

If your product solves a real problem and people find value in it, they won’t care how big your team is.

Basically, you’re not just building the software—you’re also handling sales, support, and all the other behind-the-scenes stuff. It’s easy to get overwhelmed if you try to do too much at once. My advice? Start small. Build the simplest version of your idea, get feedback, and see if anyone’s willing to pay for it.
Also, don’t be afraid to lean on tools and communities for support. I’ve come across some great startup resources hubs where you can find advice, templates, or connections that make the whole process less stressful.
