It's refreshing to see this level of humility from a developer and a cool startup. No one knows everything, and realizing that is the first step to allowing yourself to learn.

Kudos on a sweet app! I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys build next!

Oh, and thanks for sharing! If everyone was more open about the tools they use, I think apps would be a lot better in general.



Really glad you enjoyed the post! More than ever, we're standing on the shoulders of giants. Glad to share whatever insight I can to make things easier on others.


Creating my first iPhone app for a company too as my graduation project, and have very much the same feeling: "when will the catch me". So far so good, but oh how I hate the tools. First time working with OS X and X Code, an some things just suck. For example, Android's location support is 200x better and has native support for loading a KML file as a route. I have to use someones custom class for iPhone, and can't test "significant movement notification" without an iPhone 4 on hand and actually walking a mile...


Apple want to keep their developers trim. This is a feature :)


"Even our iPad developers are 1/3 slimmer in the new version."


I completely agree. Nothing new ever comes if we just work within our comfort zones and don't continue to learn.

Kudos to Steve and Adam on hiring Danilo.
