A while back, I said to Aidan that we’d spill some beans on 1st March. For the last few months we’ve been operating in “stealth mode”. This is where you don’t talk much about your product. Rick Segal (that Microsoft millionaire guy) says Stealth mode must be valley speak for I’m trying to be cool, grant you passage into my secret world of code if only to show you that I alone control your destiny. but sometimes “stealth mode” is necessary. It keeps powerful, aggressive competitors from eating your lunch and covers for your weaknesses as a microbusiness. It makes you wait until you have something to show. It allows you to measure interest by the reaction from the people who you do reveal it to.
So, is it time for us to disengage Stealth Mode? When you read that, do you think of Airwolf or Blue Thunder? Are you too young to even remember? Hmmm.
Anyway.
In no particular order, 5 details about this thing we’re building.
- It’s going to make calendaring on Mac OS X a lot more usable.
- It uses HTTP(S) for communications.
- It allows you to share calendars in a meaningful way.
- It uses Tiger’s SyncServices to work it’s magic.
- It uses a Dashboard widget for configuration.
Soon we’ll release the name and you’ll see why this article made me laugh…and then think and then laugh some more.
