Same impression (from Brussels, Belgium). + as a freelancer, it's actually quite possible to get rates in Brussels that are around 80% of what you can get in California (500€/day is totally possible). For the record, for the rent

If your experience of programming becomes worthless after 10 years, then you probably did not focus on the good skills. I don't see how learning how low level hardware works, some time tried languages (C for example), data structures, netwo

Does somebody know if appgratis informed its users that apps were paying to be featured? I would say that this is an important point to find out if this can qualify as an ethical business model

Another alternative, which is not in private beta but offers the same kind of ease for editing is http://checkthis.com . Disclaimer: I work there. That said, checkthis is not distraction free. It's more about getting easily a beautiful pag

With all this talk about how the good days of the app store are over, it is good to see a relatively unknown company making it. I also noticed that a big part of the Apple selection for the end of the year is made by indie developers, like

I thought that too might prevent foundries to license their fonts, but it turns out that services like typekit are in fact already putting these fonts online, without any real guarantee against pirating. It's just not very convenient to do
