We’re not quite live on the app store yet, although we have submitted for approval. It’s my first iPhone app (co-created it with <a href="http://welcome.totheinter.net">Adam Wulf</a> and <a href="http://holyarmy.org/benjamin">Benjamin Sherman</a>) and I’m thrilled and nervous beyond explanation.</p> <p>This site was conceptualized, designed and implemented pretty much within one weekend. It’s not as perfect as I’d like it to be, but I had to get it out there before Apple approved us! Turns out it’s taking them longer than we’d hoped.</p> <p>Serious serious kudos to <a href="http://blog.cocoia.com">Sebastiaan de With</a>, who is a master icon designer; not merely due to his illustration skills– which he obviously has– but more so due to his creativity with metaphors. He’s been a pleasure to work with. More on this on a later post.</p> <p>There’s something different about creating an application and putting it in a store, even a virtual one, versus launching a web application. The business plan feels more solid, the roadmap is better laid out, the marketing is much easier, the design is more guided. It’s been a phenomenal learning experience all around.</p> <p>I’m hoping Here, File File does well; it’s an elegant solution to a common problem. It seems like success is based on marketing from here on out, and that’s something I’m learning as I go.</p> <p>Speaking of which, I’ll leave you with some <a href="http://fusionads.net/">Fusion ads</a> I created for launch:</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxjzq86vY01qzhqpl.png"/></p>http://buckwilson.me/post/378435034http://buckwilson.me/post/378435034Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:46:00 -0500
