We worked on it much the same way we had worked on Glassboard: Nick Bradbury did wireframes and I did the Photoshop mockups and assets. (Not because it’s inherently bad, I should point out - it’s just not the kind of thing I like.) So I said yes, knowing that I’d have some months to work things out, to either make peace with this somehow or move on.īut that meant actually working on software I didn’t care about or even like. I could have said no, but I would have had to resign right then, and I was unprepared.

I didn’t want to.īut that changed in late 2012 - mainly because leadership really liked the work we’d done on Glassboard, and they wanted the same team to redo the iOS and Android clients for their enterprise app. In all those years I had not been asked to work on the enterprise software. Sepia Labs was owned by NewsGator, and it had zero employees, but it actually existed as a company. That left me working on Glassboard, in a small spin-off company of six people called Sepia Labs. We sold TapLynx and NetNewsWire to other companies. Though the company had become focussed (quite rightly) on their main enterprise product, I remained working on consumer apps: NetNewsWire, then TapLynx and then Glassboard. I have zero interest in it personally, but it makes sense, and I believe the company made smart choices, even though that meant it was a very different company from the one I joined. Though that company started out as an RSS reader company, it later turned off its RSS reader software as it evolved into an enterprise software company that makes a business-oriented Twitter/Facebook-like-thing (plus extras) that runs behind the firewall.
I continued to work on NetNewsWire for years. I went along with NetNewsWire to that company. In 2005 NetNewsWire was acquired by NewsGator, an RSS reader company with a deployed sync platform. Here’s the story, condensed as much as possible: Last night at Xcoders people asked me about the enterprise app I mentioned yesterday.
