Charles on… anything that comes along

Not. Good. August was a particularly bad month, and very depressing. I saw my dreams slipping away. So very not good. What happened!?! Well, I had released VoodooPad 1.1.1 in December of 03′, along with VoodooPad Lite. I had my best sales day ever… resulting from making a free version, go figure. That was the peak, then I came out with a couple more updates in Jan and Feb. After that I really started working on VoodooPad 2.0, aka “The release that just would not happen”. Bah. I planned for way too many features in there, and broke it in so many different ways early on. Bad idea. No releases = No money.

Gus Mueller (writer of VoodooPad and contractor on MarsEdit 1.1) on how tough it can be reaching the “independent Mac developer” status. I’m now using Voodoopad all the time to plan each week’s edition, store previous editions, and edit stuff - because you can create multiple pages branching off from the original. I grab the original, make a copy, and create a linked page where I then paste and edit the original. Very efficient, and keeps it all together in one program. (Seen at [GusMueller blog])
