Max Seelemann is one of the founders and developers of Ulysses, one of my favorite Mac and iOS apps. I am excited to talk to him today because it is a different perspective on the software developing process. Ulysses is software I use nearly every day to write up show notes, scripts, articles, and more. I was keen to hear how they built it and the decisions they made throughout the 15 years(!) of development. Show NotesMax SeelemanUlyssesRelay.fmAppStories / MacStoriesQuestion of the week: What app do you use it for writing?

Mark Zahra, among other things, recently released the EDD Bookings plugin for Easy Digital Downloads.  I was excited to talk to him about this because it's something that I thought of doing myself back when I was teaching multiple classes at the University of Scranton. When I was on campus to help manage a fluid schedule for my own office hours, I deemed that project was maybe a little over my head for the amount of time that I had. It's very cool to see that it's come to fruition a few years later. Mark also hosts Mastermind.FM and worked over at WP Mayor. Show NotesMark ZahraEDD BookingsMastermind.fmWP Mayor | WP RSS Aggregator Pippin Williamson and Restrict Content ProCheckout the How I Built It Shop for t-shirts and more.
