Drew De Ponte - A backstage perspective on running a company, building & selling apps | drewdeponte.com

Hello!

For years, like many others, we have maintained CHANGELOG.md files inside our Git repositories for our apps and libraries.

Hello!

Constraid v7.1.0 is available and includes a new API.

Pra is now Pullwalla!

I just released v7.0.0 of Constraid.

I just released v6.0.0 of Constraid, your favorite iOS & macOS Auto Layout framework, 😉.

Problem First things first.

Version v1.4.0 of Pra just made it to the App Store.

This release includes a mix of foundational features, small improvement features, as well as some bug fixes, performance improvements, etc.

It is Sunday, Feb 17th, 2019 at 10:58 pm and I have just submitted the Minimal Free Version of Pra to the Apple App Store for review.

Last night I started digging into building a SideBar for Pra.

This is the first status update of the Pra macOS application.

While I am waiting to collect information from the survey, I started thinking about how I could make money with Pra.

Back in 2013, I was lead of a software development team at ReachLocal, Inc.

Why?

Today, I was working on a client project.

We were struggling to sell one of our side projects OrangeCal while also selling our consulting services as they were for completely different audiences.

I believe that there is a large gap in current development practices in terms of association of identity and source code.

The Problem Given that UpTech is a consultancy, our team is often pretty fragmented in terms of physical location.

This is yet another screencast I dug up while cleaning out some of the digital clutter.

This is another screencast I dug up while cleaning out some of the digital clutter in my life.

Back in 2013 I did a series of screencasts with a good friend of mine, Brian Miller.

Let's say you run into a scenario where you need to build a mobile interface that has tabs at the top of the screen.

Backstory Over the last few years I have been paying more and more attention to ergonamics in my workspace.

So, lately I have been using Virtual Machines via Vagrant a siginificant amount as we are now using them to host our development environments and dependencies for all the development work we do.

Hi All, It seems there is a little hickup with the instructions google provides you with to "Activate Google voicemail no this phone".

Recently a few of our developers were having problems getting SSL certificate verify failures in Ruby.

I woke up early this morning and thought it was time for a little sublime_guard love.

So when Mac OS X Mountain Lion was released a few days ago I jumped on upgrading and got switched over as soon as I could.

It has been a while since I have provided an update on my Sublime Text 2 Guard Plugin and I just made some changes so I figured I would make a quick post.

I recently released v0.3.12 of my CI server OctopusCI.

A little over 3 months ago I had the need for a good tagging plugin for Rails.

Well, I am back with some more updates on my Sublime Text 2 Guard Plugin.

Relatively recently I switched to ZSH for my shell.

So, as some of you may know I pulled my old .vimrc out of hiding and started playing around with vim again to see if I would potentially want to switch back to it from Sublime Text 2.

Well, I got some more updates for you all.

Hey all, I know there are a number of you who have been eagerly awaiting this moment.

Hey all, My Sublime Text 2 Guard plugin has been out for a couple weeks now and it has definitely gotten some more usage under its belt.

Hey all, I was having some difficulties with a couple bugs in the Sublime Text 2 Guard plugin I have been working on.

Just dropping a quick note to all that follow my blog.

Hi all.

So for those of that don't know, I lead of team of software developers.

Hey all.

One of the many things that I have changed on my new team is the language.

So, as many of you may know I recently took a position heading up a new software engineering team that is responsible for producing the new products.

I recently wrote a jQuery Plugin that I am calling jquery_comphist.

Hey boys and girls.

I just threw together a screencast that covers a little TextMate Bundle I have been working.
