Nice work. I've also recently released my first Mac app [0] and I'm working on getting the word out about it by making it free, the idea being that if it's known by people, it can be spread through word-of-mouth, especially if it becomes indispensable. GitHub's API currently reports 600 users, and I'm working on increasing that to 1000 before making it a paid app and marketing it.
Nice to see both approaches here; I wonder which truly works better in the long run.

- _neil 13y agoI've been using your app a little bit since I saw it mentioned on HN. Really well done. It's simple, intuitive, and gets out of the way as soon as I'm done using it. Thanks.
- markbao 13y agoThank you! This is amazing to hear—those qualities of the app (simple, intuitive, gets out of the way) are exactly the points that I want to target, so I'm really glad that it's hitting on those. Cheers for the feedback.
- davidjairala 13y agoReally liking the app. Also enjoyed the "free for a limited time", adds a bit of a time component where you download it quickly and then maybe get hooked to it for when you have to pay later on.
- markbao 13y agoThanks! Totally agreed, I think that psychologically, 'free for a limited time' makes people have to make a decision on whether they want it now or not, which is an interesting behavior.
- crisnoble 13y agoThat intro video says it all. Beautifully done.
- markbao 13y agoThanks a ton! I tried to make the intro video simple yet deliver the message effectively, and it's good to hear that folks get it.
- jimbokun 13y agoI love your landing page. I know exactly what it does, how it provides value, and will look it up again if I ever find myself creating lots of Github issues.
- markbao 13y agoThank you! I worked on making it highly targeted so people knew exactly what it does as quickly as possible, so I'm glad that it got across.
- focuser 13y agolooks great! Love the simplicity of the landing page too. Though I'm a little unsure why you have the reddit page in your video? Did you mean that with your tool, you'd save lots of time (to waste?). I personally find it distracting and misleading.
- markbao 13y agoThanks! Haha, the Reddit bit was just to put in a gag that I feel like a lot of programmers will recognize, nothing more.
- tpsc 13y agoGreat landing page, although it would be handy to be able to replay the video. There is a lot happening there and I didn't catch everything at first.
- markbao 13y agoGood call, I'll try to work on adding a replay button to the page—though since there's so few elements already and one more may break the balance of it. Thanks for the feedback!
