One of the less obvious skills needed to be a long term indie developer is dauntless optimism.

Every time I launch a new feature I get the feeling that “this is gonna be awesome, folks are gonna absolutely love this”...even though history has taught me it is actually not really true. Most feature launches are greeted more with a “meh” or “hmm, that's interesting"

...which is fine and goes with the job but nevertheless we keep on building, waiting for the “OH WOW!”s which do eventually come.

@_Davidsmith The latest update was definitely a "WHOA” feature for me. I've wanted both trends and historical import for so long. This makes reinstalls less stressful too (aside from the e-mail import method).

@_Davidsmith Beautifully executed. Looking at trends is particularly tricky from a UI standpoint, and I think you’ve done it very well. It’s much better than Apple’s implementation, and the recent focus on being able to share them is so fun.

Looking forward to the future! Happy Holidays!
