I was one of the first appstore millionaires via my app Trism... I wrote it in my offhours before the appstore launched. Story here -> http://bit.ly/psyMBf

Lots to say on the subject. Press is disorienting. Friends do change. Noone can tell you what the value of your idea is. Best thing you can do with your time in the spotlight is make good connections and learn the importance of good relationships.

I remember seeing your Apple developer video (an year later) and then checking out your blog, and finding out that it was rather dormant. I thought you were only enjoying your newly earned wealth, and did not care about work or anything else. Good to know it was a learning experience as well; friends do change and it's pretty weird to find old pals to react the new success.

It sure would feel good to say 'first app store millionaires', I hope you make many more with your next thing.

Edit: Thought the Apple video was an year older than it was.

Oh, man. It must feel good to say it.

I remember writing about you back in the Industry Standard days. You inspired me to step away from journalism and start developing my own apps (and probably zillions of others).

Awesome man! Congrats on finding your path.
