Launching a Mac App and Becoming the Top Paid App Globally
It's interesting that their views on competition run counter to what YC / Peter Thiel advocate for in all startups - that is, avoiding competitive spaces and going for monopolies. Perhaps monopolies are necessary for huge growth and investor upside, but it should be made clear that there's obviously space in startups for modest goals like a nice PDF reader, and I hope their employees makes a reasonable living off it at the very least.<p>Not sure if their business model will work out (given the sad state of affairs that is the Mac App Store) but I liked that they were transparent about it.<p>On another note... the Vimeo ad they released <a href="https://vimeo.com/145400917" rel="nofollow">https://vimeo.com/145400917</a> features a white, well-dressed man working at an empty desk with nothing on it but a macbook, coffee mug, iPhone, and Moleskine notebook. I find this marketing trope hilarious and want to amass a collection of such images. Is someone already curating such a thing?
