I just rode in an elevator and didn't see any Apple watch.

Makes sense. This explanation was much better than what was on your website. Maybe you should describe yourself as the "ORM for APIs". A bit geeky maybe but would make developers get it.

First of all, it does feel like this solves a genuine problem. Despite standards it still feels like every external API is unique.

With that said, I'm not sure I 100% grasp what Brightwork does from your description and website. Maybe you could describe a specific use case of how it would help me as a developer?

It seems that one of the use cases is easily switching between APIs that serve the same purpose (eg Google Maps to Mapbox). How big a use case do you think this will be? Ie if I use the Facebook API there's is no replacement. I have to use their API if I want to use their platform.

In that case you didn't go after the right users. Expensify just did a $17m Series C so must obviously be a lot of people like me.

Really weird to read this being someone who is using the Expensify app on a daily basis. Super simple, I just photo the receipts as I go about during the month and then at the beginning of the next month I create my expense report.

Really weird to read this being someone who's using Expensify on a daily basis in exactly the use cases they describe.

What is the hypothesis?

I love the web client. Works great for me!

And just three years ago people wrote things like this: http://scobleizer.com/?p=7382

"It isn’t hard to see how they would become the coolest social network within a month or two. Even cooler than Quora. Heheh. After all, a lot more people identify with Angry Birds than identify with other services online (the same exec told me they can’t keep Angry Birds merchandise in stock). "

But what nobody tells you about ASO is that these users are much more unqualified than the other users you get. Downloads coming from friend referrals or reading an article about your app are much more likely to give you a good rating or convert into a paying user.

This is why I would never eat Soylent. It's mostly carbs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_(drink)

Great product!

Big congrats to Micha and team at Open Garden for this app. Really good work!

It depends on how you define "winning". I would say that Google won - their goal was to get as many devices as possible using Google as their default search engine and running the Google suite of apps.

A few years ago there was a real risk that Apple would start dropping Google services (ref Apple Maps). Fortunately for Google, iCloud is a mess and Apple is so far away from Google in the services-game that it's not even funny.

Then they have the added hedge of Android which they have full control over.

Basically, Google already has Apple by the balls. In a power struggle between the two, Google will come out on top. Android is certainly an important piece to this puzzle, but saying that Android is "winning/losing" is framing the problem incorrectly.

..in taiwan against HTC

It's interesting how many people are coming out and saying this. It's like they want to be that little company that wants to make >75% of their revenue from one single company.

The point I'm trying to make is that for us developers iOS is one of the most important computing platforms. All else being equal we would benefit from it being more open. The more consumers you can reach with your products, the better.

Now if you want to do mobile apps you have to take huge bet when addressing 50% of the market. I think we should be working on fixing that situation sooner than later.

Well the problem is, as I mentioned in my comment that the owner of the world's biggest computing platform can shut down a 45 person company without even giving a hint of warning or telling them what needs to be changed. I think even you can agree that's not a good thing for us developers, no?

Also, if I build an Android only app I limit my audience. It's like saying I should create a website only for Firefox in 2005 when IE was dominating.

But to your point, I as a developer will absolutely shy away from the iOS platform after reading this and I hope others will until they change their policies.
