How can I as a prospective customer be sure that you won't abandon the plank market if the initial sales are a bit slow?

That's an easy answer: support the plank!! Become a developer. One of you already has.... "Developer X" participates right here on AppleNova from time to time!!!! Let the guessing begin. I won't out "Developer X" though... that's up to him/her!!

Assuming that Brown is what everyone wants?
Zune made that mistake, too. |

Did Zune have a Stereoscopic Zoetrope? I think NOT, sir.
Also: rPlank™ runs on UNIX. I can't back that up. ... |

Well, shit, Drew. I think Amazon is already trying to rip off your design.
That didn't take long. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting. |

A bit late to this, but a deserved bump for for the link which provided me with minutes of excellent entertainment after lunch.
Great product, stellar video launch. A pity that the Zoetrope app is unavailable at the moment - it adds so much. Fingers crossed that another one will be available before Christmas. |

Thanks AWR, it was a fun project FILLED with unexpected lessons. The actual exposure of the project was a disappointment. The video has been up for a month with only 2000 hits or so, and none of the technology sites picked it up. I tried to get it noticed on several with no luck. Worse yet, one seemingly well placed person* pointedly ignored several great opportunities to mention it, and other Facebook "friends" who I felt pretended it never existed. One of those folks is raising money on kickstarter for a book of his own and I gave $30 to his project yesterday just so that I wouldn't be the smaller person.
So many lessons about how hard it is to create something viral, and to expect your friends to help. The Internet is a busy, busy place. I'm going to write an article about the experience, but for now I'm on to new things. :/ * nobody here, for the record ... Last edited by drewprops : 2011-09-23 at 09:56. |

Not sure when it happened, but the book is now available from Amazon.com!
Also from Barnes & Noble online. The Amazon page has a good "Click to Preview" of a lot of pages from the book ... |
