No marketing really. At the beginning, almost all users came from the Mac App Store. I've tried different marketing things along the way, like sponsored posts or Google Adwords. Probably spent around $500 in total on marketing during t

Not sure how it is on iOS, but I'd assume your app has to deserve to some extent to be in the top. If you're in the top because of a fluke (e.g. you got featured in some blog post), you'll fall as soon as the hype fades. No i

Every app is a special case, yes. I was just saying that the numbers in the article are not real. Redacted (the app) didn't stay in the top grossing rank enough. It just climbed and fell.

This is complete bullshit. My app (Dash) has been in the Top Grossing on the USA Mac App Store at pretty much any rank. There's a huge difference between climbing to the top and then instantly failing and actually staying at the top. A

The Mac App Store is my main revenue source. I released my iOS app in November 2014. The revenue from it wasn't worth mentioning separately in last year's report. This year, the revenue from iOS is around 10% of the Mac app.

I'm not able to find the docs for Django 1.0 and 1.1, but all others should be doable. Right now I'm focusing on fixing things for OS X 10.10, but I've added a todo entry for this and as soon as I can I'll add them.

There are quite a few issues in Yosemite, especially with Apple's new docsets. An update should be available soon.

Yes. There are now dropdown buttons next to each docset in Preferences > Downloads. You can use them to choose which version(s) you want.
