I followed your App Store struggle and am really happy you were finally able to get it approved. This is a really great utility.

Congratulations! What an awesome utility. Your demo video is awesome. More than happy to send you money for this. Would love to hear how you fare from all the attention!

Thanks, Sean. :)

I wrote this up a few weeks ago to help give other developers their own plan B in case of similar difficulties: http://writing.markchristian.org/2012/03/30/make-your-own-ap...

Thank you!

Summary so far: Daring Fireball's traffic is so intense that it's almost scary. :)

Hey Mark,

Is this useful on the trackpad? It seem to be about 50% accurate on my magic trackpad when shaking back and forth.

Also, what do you mean by "under the mouse?"

Will you post traffic stats and any other measurements you can come up with?

I was fireball'd once as well. It was the most intense traffic I had ever gotten haha. Surprisingly my homebrew django blogging platform with zero caching whatsoever held up fabulously!

Congrats!

Congratulations - that is a seriously useful utility. At first I thought that holding down the mouse button wasn't that bad - but your browser tab demo absolutely convinced me (-:

Thanks for making this - anything that improves my Mac's drag&drop and copy&paste functionality is worth at least $5.
