Blood on the Tracks?
Dan posted a pretty good account of Karelia's history on the Sandvox Weblog this morning.
It's true, we first started kicking around the ideas behind Sandvox about three and half years ago. It was about another year and half until I was able to sign on full-time and we really didn't hit full speed until after the 2004 elections.
It's been a long road, but a rewarding one. Both Dan and I love writing Cocoa apps. It's what we want to do. Now it seems, if the iWeb rumors are true, the quesion is whether we'll be able to...
I sure hope so, and I'm guardedly optimistic. You see, that's me up on the handcar. I'm the one with the really tense shoulders.
See ya Monday!

Ouch. I sure hope Sandvox and iWeb will be different enough to allow you guys to snag some market share. But it's not *really* surprising that someone else would jump the WYSIWYG web design bandwagon, especially Apple with their .mac webspace. And my personal opinion is that Watson was a logical step after Sherlock and Apple just took more time than expected.
But hindsight is 20/20... I s'pose there's a lot of 'obvious' ideas that turn out to be novel.
Veering off on a tangent: With the woodcut style and the orange/black/white color scheme, your logo reminds me a lot of the old CodeWarrior box art. Coincidence?
