Years ago, when the App Store launched and especially when Steve Jobs spoke to Developers at WWDC, I really wanted to be a part of it. And not as a spectator or as a "professional appreciator", but as a player.
Today, ContactiCal, as my first paid app, is available on the iOS App Store, this is finally true.
I would like to quote this dialogue from the movie "High Fidelity", between the main character Rob, finally releasing his first own CD, and his girlfriend Laura:
‘It’s just a 3 song CD, it’s a single. It’s not a big deal.’
‘It just that you’re making something. You, the critic. The professional appreciator put something new into the world. The second one of those things gets sold to someone you’re officially a part of it.’
Yes, it's just an app. Not a big deal. But I put something new into the world, and now I am officially a part of that world that Steve Jobs created.
