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

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...

If you were rejected from the App Store for the mouse shaking behavior, how'd you finally get it approved?

Is this really dependent on any particular Lion feature? I was about to buy it but I'm still on 10.6.8 (never bothered to update to Lion because of the myriad annoying new 'features').

tl;dr: if you can make it work in 10.6.8, I think you might get some more $love$ from some of us.

This is a fantastic app, not just because of how much of a great utility it is (does anything like this exist for windows?) but the name is absolutely brilliant. Not only is it very easy to remember "Dragon Drop", it's also an excellent wordplay ("drag'n'drop"). The video is very good too. So wonderful, a perfect combination.

I just realised that with the new update to Alfred (it lets you drag out of the results bar), that this could be one of the most useful little utilities that I've invested in.

I just hope it works as I expect.

Navigating the filesystem is so 2011 :)

edit: would be cool if you could post an update here on just how you did after you were fireball'd _and_ HN'd!

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!

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

Seems that way. Took me about 30 seconds to get through to your site.

Your site failed to load for me, can you redirect straight to the App Store?

Edit: here's an App Store link for people to check it out - http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/dragondrop/id499148234?mt=12
