Congratulations - when you've got an app that's useful, effective and solves a real pain, people are gonna write about it...
I wonder if this type of publicity will start to nudge ShoveBox into the 'tipping point' of success...

It actually desperately needs a ton of work. I want to get v1.8 (free upgrade) and v2.0 (paid upgrade) out as soon as possible. The baseline level of sales has been dwindling gradually. The MacHeist spike is an anomaly.
But I'm really busy now with my next app which may or may not pay the rent the way ShoveBox does.
It's weird actually feeling overwhelmed with my own business for once. Maybe I should do the next one with a cofounder.
Have you considered if this is the best use of your time right now? Was it spolsky who said you generally make a lot more money by adding new features to your old product, than by creating a whole new product?
Not as glamorous or fun, I know, but...
