Remarkable coincidence, or...?

[ Edit, November 2018: here's a perfect example of "put the idea out into the universe and see what happens". Here's the whole story, in reverse chronological order. ]

Holy cow. It's possible that someone thought My Dream App (Quicken, but more intuitive) was worth building.

Exhibit A:

My Dream App description: Ka-Ching. I put this up on August 27th.

Exhibit B:

Cha-Ching. The domain name was registered September 2nd.

It got announced on some entrepreneurship site yesterday. The guy says they wrote the app in three weeks. ...and I know that at least one of their devs, Jakob Wells, knew about MyDreamApp.com. Awesome.

It's going to be tough to wait until 5ish to go home. It feels a bit like Christmas!

I wonder if I get a free copy.

My Dream App

Well that's pretty neat. I've given it a run-through and Cha-ching got it right. At least, as far as a beta version 0.1 goes. I emailed and hopefully they'll tell me what's up their sleeves. I also registered my copy; since I believe in putting my money where my mouth is. I like what they did with tags, and the "drawers" metaphor is well-thought-out, especially the "smart drawers" that act like smart folders elsewhere on the mac. But it doesn't (yet) do any automated entry, or importing.

To revise my last post: I don't feel it's like Christmas, it's more incremental. But it starts off with a real bang (unlike Chanukah or Advent). It's like the Tooth Fairy left a $100 bill.

Yeah.

I shouldn't complain at all; I'm sure I'm the first person to get their dream app constructed, out of all 3,000 applicants. :)

The 24 18 that made it to the next phase will probably have to wait 3-6 months at least.

I'm impressed what these three guys knocked out in three weeks.

Hope they reply to my email. :)
