As I posted before I was most astonished when the AppStore finally opened for business. I thought “Who can live on 70% of 99 cents? and do customer support?
Well, at long last somebody has had the courage to give voice to the blatantly obvious: You can’t. Unless you’re terribly luckily. Repeatedly.

Thank you Andy for talking (blogging?) sense.
This blog is written by Frank Reiff, owner/ founder of publicspace.net.
In these pages, I’ll do my best to keep you up to date with the latest developments on the site and current and upcoming versions of our products.
I’ll also give you, the user of our software, a chance to talk back, tell me what we’re doing right and where we’re going wrong.
I have been writing software for the Macintosh community for the past 10 years and the one thing I have learned in that time, is that you can’t write great software without having great feedback from the people who use your software every day.
I get dozens of feature requests every day via email and despite my best efforts, my to-do list has never actually shrunk, but just keeps on getting bigger and bigger.
In the past decade, A Better Finder Rename (the absolute record holder in this respect) has gone through a point release at a steady rhythm of about once every 4 to 6 weeks. Almost of all of these releases were based on user feedback. As Frasier Crane would say “I’m listening”.
Through the posts in this blog, I will try to give you a peek inside the daily operation of publicspace.net and engage you in a conversation about the direction that the products are taking, and involve you more in deciding which features are important, urgent or just “icing on the cake”.
Allow me in this place to thank the countless people, who have been so kind (and occasionally so cruel) to provide valuable feedback on all things publicspace.net.
You have made our software what it is today.
