Achieving a prominent position in the Mac App Store in a category like Developer Tools isn't worth many sales. That doesn't surprise me in the least.

- Zev 16y agoGoing against the old adage of "Don't dig for gold; sell tools to miners"?
- Caballera 16y agoYeah but the gold have been dug for awhile now, plus there are competitors with just as easy access to the market and his is only a little different from the competition.
- TillE 16y agoBut there's a big, big pile of gold (normal iOS or even Mac users). Developer tools can't be an easy market to succeed in. You aren't going to get many impulse buys.
- awj 16y agoThat works great, unless said miners have an almost ridiculous quantity of tools just lying on the ground waiting for someone to clean them up a bit and start using them.
- smackfu 16y agoThe point in the article is that it is ahead of other apps in Dev Tools from established companies who should be selling more than 10 copies a day.
