So, I am passionately working on a project at the office. I have lobbied for this project and am currently feverishly coding away on it. It takes advantage of several really nifty current buzzwords.<\/p>\n
The only problem, it’s another version of a program that’s already commercially available. I’m trying to put in a unique set of features to make my app as compelling as the one that I’d say has a pretty strong share of this apps market.<\/p>\n
And to allay nervousness… No, Fraser. I am not writing an LJ client \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I’m nervous of course because there’s only so far you can go when writing another app that does foo<\/i> without looking like a duplicate. Take Word and any other text editor. I mean once you get past the page and the ruler… they are all the features. Everyone imitates everyone else. It used to be flattery… now… it’s hiding behind your lawyers.<\/p>\n
Personally, the app that’s out now is great. I use it. I just think it has several limitations, so I’m writing my own. When I decide I like mine better, then I know I’ve done my job. I hope this app flies because I really love the technology and think people will like it. Hopefully they will adopt it. *shrugs*<\/p>\n
Sorry, as typical, to be so vague. I don’t want to tip too much of my hat before we are ready to drop this on the public.<\/p>\n
This also serves as a reason for why my posting has slowed recently. I’ve been deep (and happily) in code. I have many other things to write about soon.<\/p>\n
