We Have Crossed Some Strange Boundary

For a while now I’ve thought about expanding the blog to include some posts on programming and the general business of writing and selling software, and after a lot of thought I’ve decided to ahead and do it.

I considered splitting off a personal blog for this kind of thing so that the Alloysoft site could be kept nice and clean, free from rants or indecipherable technical posts. But the more I thought about what I wanted to write the more I realized that a lot of it might well be of interest to customers. Even discussion of a technical topic can give insight into how a developer approaches their products and what they care about. It also helps to keep the site active, showing that work is ongoing and possibly giving a preview or two about what’s coming next.

I hope that some of what starts to show up here proves useful, and as always look forward to hearing your feedback. The beautiful thing about software is that if something doesn’t work out it’s usually not too hard to change back.

    I do hope all of what I’m now reading about code development bodes well for a major revision to Signal – and not a totally new product, which I may or may not be interested in owning. I guess I would say that if you are abandoning Signal (ceding the space to iTunes Remote) I will be saddened but I’d just as soon know that now and not later. Personally, I’d prefer to use a redesigned version of Signal.

    Thanks!

    Hi Michael,

    It’s a bit of both. Signal is still under development, but there is also work going on for some other Alloysoft projects. Right now I don’t have any plans to close down Signal, and I can assure you that if it ever were to be shut down I would be very up-front about it.

    If you’re only interested in reading about Signal news from the blog I’ve created a separate category for it and a Signal-specific RSS feed is also available.
