TL;DR: Terraforming Mars game mechanics are exceptional but it desperately needs a second edition to do a complete art design overhaul, new play mats (similar to Scythe), rules/guidebook re-write, and improve overall quality of the product. The biggest issue I have with the game is that the art design is really bad, it’s as if […]
This isn’t my “2016 in review” like so many other #WordPress businesses have published this week. For starters, I’m less productive than those I admire and it’s overdue. Joking aside; I’m going to share my journey with Sprout Apps in regards to financial up/downs/ups/drops/outlook… A Chart… I’m going to be referring to the chart below, so analyze it and […]
After writing my notes for my recent interview on the Matt Report I wanted to expand on two things I wrote: I don’t have a goal for “$15k a month” because I don’t have a plan at the moment to get there… …at the moment I’m fine tuning my business process in order to continue to grow […]
I don’t like doing podcasts, I get nervous, and just clam up, public speaking is just a fear that I’ve been trying to break…and up until recently I had done one podcast, which was an old cast of Apply Filters. It was a surprising invite to be interviewed on the Matt Report, and because of my fear […]
Trying to find a positive of the review-gate I decided this was a great opportunity to find how positive ratings affects download counts. Be warned: while I like numbers, statistics isn’t a strong area of mine; and while I tried to be objective about these numbers it’s sorta impossible when my intent is to prove a point. So take the […]
Been waiting, and waiting, for the final settlement on the VW diesel buyback/recall for months now, the “agreement” has been sealed until it was submitted to the courts today but I’m finding nothing that will help me figure out what I’m supposed to do (with my a3 tdi). Sigh. It looks like they won’t start […]
One of my new year goals is to do more talks, specifically speaking at meet-ups. Yesterday was my first; not the first of the year, my first talk that I’ve given to a complete set of strangers — ever. My hope that it would be easy to do a simple overview of Sprout Invoices was wrong. […]
Today, after a major release of a Sprout App, I relax, only handling support. A tradition since the days of freelancing, when after a major project was launched I’d go play golf, or play with the kids. Today, it’s uncomfortable. I just have so much to do; Sprout Invoices’ next release keeps growing with “must do” features […]
I really don’t know how to approach this post. I don’t want to jump out there and say SiteGround is a terrible host because I’ve heard otherwise, although what they just pulled on me is bullishit. Maybe a simple story will work… I opened a hosting plan with SiteGround a while back because I needed to […]
Sprout Apps made it’s first dollar on this date last year! The best thing has to be that I’m still making dollars! If you want to know more about all the things that happened over at Sprout Apps I’ve published (some-what of) a year in review. I tried my best to show how much Sprout Invoices has grown as […]
