The mythical app month

Very funny and very true article about independent software development here. In The Mythical App Month, Shifty Jelly’s blog of mystery puts down in words what seems to be a common misconception about software updates frequency: it has to be at least monthly otherwise people believe the app is dead. I liked a lot the general tone of the article and the deep reality of what it describes, and wish everyone gives it a look before saying: “are you still up with development of…” once again. I quote here the part I liked most:

[...] we love all our apps, and we’re taking the time to make our updates great. If it’s months since an app has been updated, don’t give up hope, we’re in this for the long run.
