Especially on the Mac, the launch of VoodooPad 5 seems to have been extremely well received. I’m a fan of simple.įV: You released a major update to your Wiki application for OS X and iOS, VoodooPad, earlier this year. I’ve had a couple of employees in the past, but right now it’s just Kirstin and I- which is pretty nice and simple. Now I’ve got an office in downtown Everett, WA, which is a great place to escape to when I need to get away from all my stuff and really concentrate on problems. It worked out pretty great for a while, but I eventually needed to get out. We recently had a baby, so she’s not working as much as in the past- most days it’s just me in the office.įor the first couple of years after I went full time with FM, I worked in an office on the bottom floor of our house. GM: Yep, Kirstin has been working for Flying Meat part time for a little over a year, helping with support and handling all the financials. People downloaded them, sent me feature requests, and Flying Meat was basically born out of that experience.īut even before all that, I dabbled with BASIC in grade school (on an Apple //c) and a little bit of Pascal in high school.įV: How has Flying Meat evolved over the years? You run the business with Kirstin, your wife, right? Eventually I starting writing little applications that I wanted myself (like VoodooPad), and put them up on my website. When Apple bought Next I played around with the development tools that Rhapsody (pre OS X builds) came with and read up a bit on Cocoa. GM: I’ve always used Macs and I got into programming when I was in college, using Metrowerks on OS 9 to complete my assignments. I also have a couple of other minor projects – JSTalk, FMDB, and a handful of open source libraries that are popular.įV: How did you get started with programming and development? These days my most known application is Acorn “The image editor for humans”, but before that I was mostly known for my desktop wiki VoodooPad. I’m Gus Mueller, and I’m the founder/programmer for Flying Meat Inc, which makes software for the Mac. Gus tweets as interview below was conducted between May 5 and December 15, 2012.įederico Viticci: Hey Gus! Could you introduce yourself to the readers who haven’t heard about you or haven’t tried any of your apps before? You may know Gus because it makes two of the finest Mac apps – Acorn, an image editor, and VoodooPad, a note-taking and wiki app. In our ongoing series of interviews with developers and creators in the Apple community, I had the chance to talk with Gus Mueller, founder and programmer at Flying Meat.
