@reneritchie “We'd rather have an endless supply of cheap than we would a few precious pieces”—nicely said, and sadly true.
One of the hardest pieces I’ve ever written, and one I’m still deeply conflicted about. http://www.imore.com/app-store-disconnect …pic.twitter.com/njTMr9476j

@jnack Thanks John, means a lot coming from you. -
@reneritchie :) We should talk sometime. Photography: #2 in downloads, not even top 10 in revenue. *All* the dough was in ads (IG, SC, etc.) -
@jnack Would love to any time! -
@reneritchie@jnack both of you: out to Yosemite for the conference next week! you two talk, I’ll buy the rounds.

@reneritchie amazing piece!Unfortunately so true. Indie Devs can definitely thrive if sites like iMore help spreading their work like you do -
@AbrasMateus Thank you -
@reneritchie thank you for that. Btw, if you are interested, I’d love to have you as a beta tester of an app I’m working on. -
@AbrasMateus Absolutely! rene@imore .com -
@reneritchie done! thanks!

@reneritchie I’m still making money selling calculator widgets, so I’m hopeful there’s a big enough niche of people out there to sustain it. -
@jamesthomson I think so, I’m just not sure how far that scales? - View other replies

@reneritchie Don't think the market for my stuff is changing, it's just there are another 500m people on the platform which distorts. -
@jamesthomson@reneritchie Yes, scale is a tricky lens

@reneritchie Great read, but you should… probably… rethink this particular image, because: No, they don't. ;)pic.twitter.com/oTmICDlqfz

@fehnman My second home page. Always keep the first default because I switch devices so often.

@reneritchie thanks for the great piece. It’s also Heart Breaking for me and I’m deeply conflicted now @ about this too.#grumpyoldmanme -

@reneritchie Different apps require different approaches, in some cases an indie developer can come up with a better product than a company. -
@parcel_app Agreed, I think I said as much in the piece?
