Unrelated, but I created the very first Baby Names app for iOS with my pal David. I didn’t have a baby, but my friend Marie was having one and suggested the idea. Imagine having such a simple idea and it not already existing on iOS. Those were the days. It held the namespace “Baby Names” in the App Store, which someone tried to buy later but before that no longer mattered. It was the gold rush of the App Store. I think we charged 99 cents for it, but I remember we made something like $12k in a few months. Dave wrote the objective c but I wrangled assets and ran the dev builds on a hackintosh, not yet sold on the Apple ecosystem. We got into a beef with this other Baby Names app seller that thought they had the original baby names app. There were some stern reviews. The app was just a native UI over a baby names database I bought off some service for cheap. You could save favorites and share it and there was limited filtering. Eventually people willing to compete moved in, with various free and paid offerings and we didn’t bother to keep it up. Edit: I found the press release I issued. What nostalgia. https://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/09/prweb1332494.htm https://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/09/prweb1332494.htm
