Winter 2014 Newsletter

For the last 3 years Grey, Mutahhir, Young Hoo, and myself worked full-time at Hog Bay Software. Unfortunately our sales dropped this year forcing it back to just me again.

Going forward I will focus on the Mac apps: FoldingText, WriteRoom, and TaskPaper. The next version of FoldingText is in progress. After that I’ll do updates to WriteRoom and TaskPaper.

I will stop selling the iOS apps. I’m sorry, I know this is disappointing, but I see no way to maintain them all myself. They are free this week and then will be removed from the app store. I recommend the following alternatives:

• PlainText 2 by 433 Labs is a continuation of my PlainText app, just developed and supported by them instead of me. It’s a good replacement for both PlainText and WriteRoom for iOS. The “Remove Ads” in-app-purchase is free for a limited time.

• Listacular by Bloomingsoft is a good replacement for TaskPaper for iOS. It’s a similar concept and understands TaskPaper-formatted files. Use Dropbox to sync TaskPaper for Mac files to Listacular on iOS.

Thanks,
