are there any differences in terms of features between the Mac App Store version and the one you can buy directly from your site? curious if the "sandbox" in the Mac App Store caused any file system issues.

#22Just bought it! Skipped the trial because the video demo was enough. You should really be proud. Works like a charm, somehow feels like a UNIX tool. Hope you get rich in exponentially faster increments of five bucks.

#23I was one of the people in that fireball. Bought it through the App Store. Great app.

#24Congrats Mark! Looks like you'll surpass your 2013 goals before it even starts. I'm a very happy user of the app and have known Mark for years. He is awesome!
He has another really neat and surprisingly useful app on the AppStore: Lidpop - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lidpop/id441887602?mt=12 - "Lidpop makes your Macintosh play a sound when it sleeps or wakes up. Close the lid with a resounding clank or a happy slide whistle. Open it back up with a laugh or a whimsical chime — it's up to you. Lidpop brings a dash of personality to your computer."
When I open my Air, Scotty (Star Trek) says "Hello Computer" and when I shut it down, Vader (Star Wars) says "Nooooooooo." I know it seems trifling but always brings a smile to my face wherever I am, including work meetings.

#25Were you inspired by the Shelf from NeXTSTEP?
Re: Show HN: my Mac app just got fireballed
#26So... what are you building next? I'd like to buy it. =)

#27I 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!
Thank you brilliant stranger! The Alfred combo tip here just made my day.

#28Neat App. The most surprising thing about it for me was actually the name. Not that it was a cool word play, its just that I'm so used to the good names already being camped by completely useless crap that its weird to see a neat name and a decent app attached to each other.

#29You had my five dollars within 10 seconds of the video starting. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Thank you!

#30This is a cool app. The functionality is not as extensive as this but Path Finder for Mac (Finder replacement) has a featured called "Drop Stack" which essentially allows you to pile files somewhere before you decide what to do with them. http://cocoatech.com/pathfinder/
