I remember visiting you guys when you were all living and working together in that small apartment with the pool. You were awesome. Give it some time, you will regain trust in a new cofounder you will run into, and you will drink beer again

This will hurt Apple in the long run. Soon app innovation will stifle because only a very few companies are making money. Indie/mid size developers will stop working on innovative apps and start working for bigger risk aversing boring compa

yeah. I was one of the persons that rested (no real sleep) for 4 hours instead of going home. I still think it is crazy, but seeing half the people do it makes it competitive and therefore you want to stay up too. Apart from students I don'

I don't think it is a problem that is harder on mobile than web, it is just that up till now for mobile we have only focused on downloads: downloads is the main metric for iTunes Store and Google Play to rank apps and to get into a top 25.

nice article. It would have been more effective for me without the superlatives and just in general shorter.

Yep, I know that is one of their worries. Parallel store, bypassing Apple's payment system and creating a bad user experience. However, the number of users that jailbreak their iPhone and use Cydia is small, and the new iPhone users are mor

makes sense, thanks for the explanation. Interesting to see your take on the 2 sides. Now you should build a mobile optimized web site for the regular users!

congrats! Two questions: 1. Why is the app called Recommend it and not Refer.ly? 2. You seem to focus on different use cases than with the web site, for power users that share more instead of all users. What was the rationale behind that? E

Apple should rank apps based on actual usage not downloads. On the web we call unique users vanity metrics, and monthly active users the real deal. Why not the same for mobile?
