Thanks for posting news about Balsamiq here on HN ph0rque. I am quite excited by the RWW review, it's incredible to read about my own company on the #1 blog I read every morning...I still can't quite believe it.

thanks for your detailed blogging about the whole process of going from idea to quitting your job to launch. i spent about 30min going through all your blog posts. very encouraging and real. a great resource for others who are in the same boat.

    why the pi?
    - terpua 18y ago
      Balsamiq has come full circle (concept, dev, launch, business).
      - scott_s 18y ago
        Then wouldn't it be 2pir, ~6.28 if we assume a unit circle?
        terpua 18y ago
        I wasn't actually talking about the circumference per se, just that Balsamiq has come "full circle" which I represented using pi.
        scott_s 18y ago
        I know it's just a saying, but taken literally, "coming full circle" would mean the circumference. That is, going around in a circle.

        actually, when a circle's diameter is 1, its circumference is π
        scott_s 18y ago
        I think "unit circle" means a circle with a radius of 1, not a diameter of 1: http://everobotics.org/projects/roboMagellan/img/UnitCircle.gif http://everobotics.org/projects/roboMagellan/img/UnitCircle....

How did you do the marketing for Balsamiq? Or is that covered in one of your blog posts?
- balsamiq 18y ago
  It isn't, but a few people have asked me the same question, so I might write it up soon. No rocket science...I just followed some good advice: http://www.balsamiq.com/blog/?p=58 http://www.balsamiq.com/blog/?p=58
