Making a living as an independent developer is becoming more difficult. As you stated, webapps are becoming more commoditized and what I can build for a $3,000 can now be purchased for $25 per month.
I'm looking at trying to develop some turn-key apps that I can sell repeatedly and more cheaply. But I expected things to go this way. Most clients will go ugly and cheap before custom and relatively expensive.
