Episode 623: Talking Myself Out of It

Manton ships a new Micro.blog feature for photo collections. Daniel and Manton talk about the virtue of providing third-party APIs to support the same kinds of features as you add them to the platform as first-party features. How to decide when to release a major, paid upgrade? Daniel weighs the possibility of subscription pricing for MarsEdit. And finally, teasing Micro.one and developing features and products in secret so that people can’t talk you out of them before they ship.
