Haha yea I would agree and I am a Windows user myself. One thing that we were told very early on by our investors is to focus on one platform and one platform only in the beginning. Our current client has changed so much over the last six months that it would have been a monumental waste of time to be developing Windows alongside it. Our Mac client should be stable (design-wise) relatively soon and then if we gain some form of market acceptance proving our concept we will move on to Windows and mobile development.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoThis is absolutely true. Trying to support multiple platforms is a huge distraction that does nothing to teach you what will work and what won't. Multiple platforms is almost always a premature optimization.
- phaus 15y agoHaving learned a bit from your article, I figured I would check out retickr even though I had no idea what it was. When I looked at your site I realized that just the other day I was wishing I knew of a program that did exactly what yours does. Unfortunately I enjoy video games too much to justify buying a Mac. I agree that it seems like a really good idea to support just one platform until you are established. I just happen to think that you picked the wrong one. Don't get me wrong, I like OS X and more than a few different versions of Linux/Unix, but that doesn't change the fact that the overwhelming majority of home users run windows. I sincerely hope that things start to click for you in the near future. I'll probably check retickr out in VMware or something. Good luck.
