We're lucky that we're very self-contained (little product), and when things break we're usually able to fix them quickly (again, small team and little product). :)

Nice one. FWIW, on most days I work from 9:15am to 6:15pm. I do check email before and after as well, and sometimes do actual work after dinner to sync up with our US peeps (I live in Italy). I took two weeks of almost zero-work in August,

Thanks Senko, I agree that good prioritization and frequent small releases do help a lot. As for procrastination, I think that's fixed by recruiting people who are the right fit and would do the job even if they weren't paid to do it. :) Ha

Thanks for submitting this gtzi. Any questions, I'm here (or if you're old-skool, add a comment to the blog). :) I really _am_ curious about why people have deadlines...isn't it ready when it's ready? :) Peldi

Speaking of Mockups: we now require Air 2.5, and we don't have short or mid-term plans to switch to requiring 2.7. So I'd say we're good for a while...by the time we'll make the switch there will probably be a new 3rd party distro of Air fo

Hello! We only provide "free updates forever" on our Mockups for Desktop product. It's a low-cost tool, and I figure that harassing people to purchase maintenance would cost us more than not doing it. That said, as we scale our infrastructu

Congrats Patrick! A small piece of feedback. On this page: https://www.appointmentreminder.org/a/calendar - I am wary of testing it because I'm not sure who'll see my phone number if I do. In other words, it's not clear if this demo is ju

Hi there. It seems that our new slice is having a hard time keeping up with demand, so if the site is slow for you, please be patient. We're working on it...gah!!!

Hi Joel, thanks so much for the flattering words, but it's the other way around. Patrick has been a huge inspiration for me for a long time now! :)

You're too kind Patrick. I have mixed feelings about recording what users do, it feels a bit invasive to me...do people know exactly how much of their behaviour you're recording? Our Desktop app never calls home for that reason. I realize e

Hi guys. We did a rough estimate just for fun the other day (we decided to actually look at analitycs for 5 minutes) and right now we get about $1 for each website visitor, or in other words 1 in 80 buys the tool. We're happy with that rate

Hi rama, Peldi here from Balsamiq. If you look at our page here: http://www.balsamiq.com/blogs/ you'll see that each blog is about very different topics, it would be too much to have it all together, plus one of the blogs is in Italian! :

Thanks for posting this seasoup, but maybe it's a bit too much? I mean, we release all the time (48 releases in 2009), maybe let's only post here when the release is a big one? :)
