I was expecting to be able to release around November, but I said February to be extra-safe: glad I did, I'm just now at beta quality. :P Time is a bitch, and developing software in a one-man operation is tough, but you're definitely right about one thing: interfacing directly with users, and being able to take public opinion and change the direction of your code without having to go through anyone else for "permission" first is an amazing feeling, and what makes it all worthwhile. It's good to be dev'ing on OS X too-- the community is great, especially the graphic design community (like Adam, cool guy). Anyway, keep up the good work on Flow. :) I've switched to the beta from my old FTP client, and I intend to buy a copy when it's released.

Flow is simply amazing. School obviously is going to get in the way, but it's also (semi) important. Just think, a couple more months you'll be free and you can do whatever it is you desire. Don't hurt yourself for showing people flow, the earlier that you showed it the more publicity it has, and obviously that's going to mean pressure. For a kid who can master an application like this out of his own basement has to have some crazy skills, and trust me--if i weren't the person to know that I don't know who would ;). Keep doing what it is you do best, and don't forget we're always here for you! -aley brrriaaan!

What a learning experience I'm sure this is for you, and what a testament to the OS X frameworks that a single bright individual can craft such a project on his own. If you'd be interested in having a hand with the web stuff (design or coding), let me know. I'd be willing to donate some work and perhaps hosting to help a budding young entrepreneur get off the ground. Sounds like you have all teh mad skillz you need, but time is always an issue, isn't it? Good luck, and I look forward to trying out Flow when it's ready! *muttering* wish I were in the cool beta group *mutter* {love}, {ryan} Nice post.

Personally, I'm impressed, and not at all worried about the fact that the software isn't done. Quality is worth waiting for. Keep up the excellent work, sir. Brian,

What an amazing response from all of you. I'm literally blown away. This support really means the world for me. Also, a few of you mentioned some tactics of time management, and I definitely agree. Thomas Edison once said "the best thinking is done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil." Tonight, if nothing else, has demonstrated exactly that. I had about an hour to work on Flow today, and with total silence, no distractions, I got a surprisingly large amount of work done. I think the reality here is that multi-tasking itself is really a sham. You can either do one thing at a time and do it well, or you can do two things in a half-assed fashion. I prefer the former!

It's hard to keep up with school, projects, etc. all at once. Thanks for the note and good luck on development! It’s hard to keep up with school, projects, etc. all at once.
