Wil Shipley is probably the premiere Mac developer — he co-founded The Omni Group, and now runs Delicious Monster, whose Delicious Library app pretty much embodies the best of this platform we love so much. Wil kindly sat down to talk with me at last week’s MacTech 2010 conference here in Los Angeles, and we chatted about what’s next for Delicious Library, what the response was like to his company’s Noogle Noggles app, and what he believes is in store for Apple’s upcoming Mac App Store.
Shipley began by saying he was a little disappointed with the way Noogle Noggles worked out — the idea was, of course, to beat Google Goggles to the App Store, and Google worked faster than he expected. “We thought we were going to beat them by two and a half months, but they beat us by a day.” Still, the app has seen a solid chunk of downloads so far. “Last I checked it was 35,000 people, and I’m like that’s a pretty good number of people for working on something for a month.”
