WWDC 2008

The week started off with a bang at the sfMacIndie fête at Jillians, which we co-sponsored this year rather than throw our own party.

This year’s conference was excellent — the presentations were of high quality, and the iPhone sessions were great. I hope next year is just as good. I got to meet Peter Maurer of Many Tricks software in person. We acquired Textpander from him in 2006. We decided that he’s the grandfather of TextExpander, that SmileOnMyMac are the parents, and that TextExpander is the unruly child. I think that fits.

Here are some of our other developer friends we encountered this year. Definitely check out their software:
Red Sweater Software / MarsEdit
Boinx
Agile Web Solutions / 1Password
MacSpeech / Dictate
