![]() It’s also probably a lot less that you need to know for algorithms and stuff like that than you would think. It goes very deep, but it’s easy to get a good, broad overview of how to manage pixels, basically. Once you get into it, the algorithms for graphics aren’t too hard. There’s been a couple of things that I’ve hired people for, but for the most part, it’s all just me. Gus: It’s mostly I like to do all the work myself. How do you deal with that nowadays? Do you hire it out or do you go, “Damn it, I’m going to take this book and I’m going to absorb it and whether I learn by osmosis or otherwise, I’m going to figure it out”? I imagine when it comes to image editing and all these kinds of effects that you have to work with in Acorn, there’s a fair amount of algorithms involved. I hated Art History, but I had all those credits so I just turned it into a general studies degree that way.Īlexis: Now we’re getting ahead of ourselves here, or at least I am, because I’m curious – you mentioned not being very good at algorithms and that kind of stuff. The Art History happened because I was going to be an art major for a while, and you needed a lot of Art History credits. ![]() It wasn’t planned at all it just happened that way. That’s just two interests of mine that just sort of fell together. I wasn’t very good at algorithms and stuff like that, and actually the only class I ever flunked was a Computer Science class – go figure. That’s how I got the Computer Science stuff. I would create my own little Computer Science classes, which were basically projects I was working on at work anyway, and they would sign off on it and I would get credit for it. It’s the central IT department for the university and some of my co-workers were actually professors. I didn’t take very many hardcore Computer Science classes I actually worked for the Campus Computing – as it was called there. Computer science, I just kind of enjoyed too. So when I went to college, I just took a bunch of art classes just because it was fun I really enjoyed it. I was just playing games on it and I would write little basic programs, and I also liked drawing. I had an Apple IIc growing up it was my first computer. And I’m mostly just self-taught.Īlexis: Now why did you combine those three minors or your interests? Was it because, “Well it’s just what I’m interested in so it’s going to happen” or was it more of a calculated, “Well I think these could go well together,” like the Steve Jobs intersection of technology and liberal arts kind of thing? Add in the Computer Science and that’s what’s going to happen. So that’s sort of where my art background comes from when I do image editors and stuff like that. I basically studied Art, Art History and Computer Science and I took them all together and sort of made my own degree. I basically ended up getting a general studies degree by combining three minors together to get a single major. I went to college at the University of Missouri, Columbia. On iOS it shows till 15 Jan, but it has been extended till 15 Feb.SUBSCRIBE ON: iTunes PocketCasts Stitcher Show notesĪlexis: Gus, thanks for coming on the podcast!Īlexis: Now, before we get to Flying Meat and Acorn, tell us a bit about your background. LAUNCH OFFER □: We’re giving a lifetime purchase option in the app. Can’t wait to hear what you guys think :) We’ve been beta testing it for around 5 months, did a soft launch recently and we’ve received great response along with lots of feature requests. Placed majority of the options at the bottom for better UX (phones are getting bigger) & so that the user never sees any option while the keyboard is open.Īdded drag & drop support, keyboard shortcuts & a spotlight like search.Īdded small, less noticed but essential things missing from other writing apps like multiple selection, proper sectioning between pinned & unpinned notes, add to favorites, sub formatting inside todos, lists and headings etc. ![]() Live updating word count in the toolbar (in touchbar for MacOS).Īpart from editor, we also paid a lot of attention to design. No need of selecting a word to format it, just put your cursor on it & choose the formatting. Instant tagging using hashtags with unlimited nesting.įocus Mode & Mark Line that highlights the current line/paragraph.Īutomatic suggestion of tags based on your past usage. Instant Markdown with automatically hiding syntax (as soon as you move your cursor away). Our main vision while building Spaces was to create a clean, distraction-free writing environment. To build the best possible experience we analysed over 25 top writing apps (including Bear, Agenda, Things, Ulysses, iAWriter & more) to create the best design & add most essential features. Create beautiful notes, add infinite tags & connect everything via internal links, all in real time. After spending 2 years building, iterating and improving, we finally created Spaces. ![]()
