There’s been a lot of talk this week about the App Store and its role in the success (and failure) of indie app developers. Today we add our two cents to the conversation and share our view of today’s App Store. We reflect on how the App Store has changed the software business in Apple’s ecosystem, we consider what an independent software developer can safely count on the App Store to do for his or her business, and we discuss the idea of indie software developers as “starving artists.”
