GM: Yeah, it's just a little over two years ago.ĬE: So how has that been so far? Is it still working out for you?

It really helped me out.ĬE: You went independent. GM: Yeah, but people do some funky websites with it too, because you can export to the web.ĬE: I actually used Voodoo Pad when you first came out with it in college to take notes and stuff. GM: Well the ones that make me happiest are people doing research with it, like PhD students who just think it's perfect. Building off that, what have you found is the most creative use you've heard of? I know I've heard of some creative things, I'm sure you've heard of a lot more. The wiki stuff is a very, very, very close second to that.ĬE: Okay.

I've got all the rich text formating in there, you can have images, you can have tables and lists and stuff like that. AdvertisementĬE: So what do you consider the application to be? Do you consider it to be a Wiki or a text editor or. And then a couple weeks later I added some more and sent it out and some people liked it and I said "Oh, feedback!" And eventually it just snowballed from there. And I started doing that and I had something that night working. And I put one and one together and I was like "I'll just make a little wiki here," cause I like Cocoa so much better than having to click edit. GM: When I originally started it, I was just playing around with some Cocoa technologies and I found out I could do links in the text widget and I said "This is pretty cool," and I had my own peronal wiki online. So the first thing I want to ask is, Voodoo Pad is probably one of your biggest products, right?ĬE: What did you set out to make Voodoo Pad? What was your goal for it? I know it's kind of evolved into a lot of different things to a lot of different people? How did you set out?

Update (): Transcript has been added! Read the transcript after the jump.ĬE: We're here with Gus Mueller for Flying Meat Software. I apologize for the harshness of the transitions, but we felt that this was a good interview and some good audio is better than nothing.

In those instances when good audio was lost, we've attempted to replace it with the less-than-stellar audio from the camcorder. While it did produce superior sound quality, it looks like we were having a serious issue with parts of the sound from the interview being lost from the device.

Ars Technica's Clint Ecker sat down with Gus Mueller of Flying Meat Software this past Wednesday to talk about his company, his products: Voodoo Pad, Fly Sketch, and Fly Gesture, as well as how the independent developer life is treating him and other topics.
