]]> Comment on grid + lines + doodles, no tasks by Carol Redstone http://www.ordinarytime.net/2009/04/grid-lines-doodles-no-tasks/comment-page-1/#comment-51 Carol Redstone Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:25:38 +0000 http://www.ordinarytime.net/?p=145#comment-51 Thanks so much Craig! I really appreciate your efforts. I intend to use your (and Doane's) design for a daily art journal. I played around with my printer and was able to print out the paper on both Bristol board and 140 lb cold press water color paper. I will then 3-hole punch each sheet and keep them in a binder. I've been looking for the perfect layout and you certainly contributed to that!! Thanks so much Craig! I really appreciate your efforts.

It's like an ADD work-around--even while diverting attention, structure and organization are not lost! I take it Mr. Doane approves? I like this.

I think a customized hack with a slightly wider drawing area and without the check-box area would be great for a daily sketch journal. Wish I had a Vista Version of OmniGraffle! Thanks for sharing.

I can't see how it does. Developers can just refuse to put their app in it. No one is putting a gun to their head. Also the apps are locked until a certain value is reached. So they do get at least the value they agree with MacHeist. "a wonderful program for which I’ve already paid the regular price" *shrug* So you can buy MacHeist and tell them you own this software already and give it as a gift to someone else while giving to charity. Software devalues. I have a toybox full of $20-$50 games that now sell for a fraction of that. I'm not bitter. “undervalues the work of Mac developers by offering their products for sale at a massively discounted price.”

I bought my bundle and am crossing my fingers that The Hit List and Espresso get unlocked. One positive for the developers that the Delicious Monster team brought up in the MH1 fiasco is that it provides an immense amount of exposure for their products. So maybe they give an app away for a ridiculously cheap price, but if it's a good app (and most on MH are), then they've got some brand recognition and a good solid base to build some brand loyalty. For example, Boinx, featured in both MHII and the current one is practically giving away BoinxTV. But they have other apps, too. Arguably, the majority of the people out there would use Boinx's other apps way more than BoinxTV or iStop Motion (from MHII). In essence it gives an awesome introduction to the developer, and what a great first impression! Another thing to consider (this is more true for Kinemac, BoinxTV, SousChef products), but arguably they are still making more money than they would have if they had not participated in MH. Granted, with The Hit List, Espresso, and LittleSnapper there's probably a bigger audience of people who would most definitely pay full price for such great products. Caveat aside, when it comes to Kinemac or BoinxTV - there's truly no way that I would have ever considered buying them. So why not make a little money selling discount from 20,000+ sales, than you would have made selling full price for a few sales? Good article, but I wouldn’t worry, personally.
