Just 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.

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

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

Nice app. I'm going to steal your idea if you don't mind.

Ha, the idea for the app or the idea for the silly sounds? ;) Note: my wake-up sound is currently the boot sound effect form OS/2 Warp 4, just because I love weird, retro-computing goodness.

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.

Thank you. Believe me, that video was the hardest part: a bad screencast is a terrible thing, but they're damn hard to do well. I think I spent about 4 hours on that sixty second video, and it means the world to me to know that it was well-received. Thank you.

Eep — traffic it seems to come in spurts. I've got a RewriteRule to send people to the App Store when I notice it being particularly bad, but I prefer to keep the site up so people can see the video and try the trial. Thanks for posting this link.
