It seems Susan Kare, the pioneer designer of the original icons, also designed the icons for Nautilus (the file manager). Here I was, thinking Nautilus was just some small hobby project by some guys. Anyone know how this came about? Is Susan Kare just a woman who loves contributing to FLOSS now? What's the story here?
- britta 13y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eazel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eazel - Nautilus was originally the product of a company with multiple ex-Apple employees. "Its business plan involved monetizing online services to be offered through Nautilus such as storage, but it failed to do so before venture capital ran out."
- twoodfin 13y agoEazel, which created Nautilus, was founded by a bunch of the original Mac builders. The team included Bud Tribble, Andy Hertzfeld, Mike Boich and Susan Kare[1]. There's some interesting backstory on Nautilus in one of the Don Melton epsiodes of the Debug podcast[2].
