First off, congratulations on shipping!

Second of all, and I don't mean this to be an attack, but what assurances do any of us have that this app will benefit from continued development? PulpFiction got orphaned, and though that was not your fault, I think many users are worried about that happening here again. Do you guys have a plan for continued development and for Cyndicate 2.0?

As Erik said, we were not the ones who "orphaned" PF. It was the new owner and Erik outlined his reason for selling so I'm not going to rehash that. I do not foresee another sale like that happening, it was a disaster. I plan on sticking with it. Cyndicate (and PF before it) is an app I use all day, every day and I want to see it continue for my own use. I frankly don't like the way the other Mac news readers work. The paradigm Cyndicate uses fits me a lot better than the others.

Also, take a look at what PulpFiction's development was like when we controlled it. You received 6 updates in less than a year, with some of them containing major new features like smart folders. I'm not making any promises that we'll have the same update frequency with Cyndicate, but you will see them on a fairly regular basis and we have some really cool additions in mind.

Hi! What are your plans regarding PF license owners?

We plan to announce something soon (I'll likely update this comment). It's more Brad's decision than mine, but I've weighed in with my opinion.

In the meantime, email your PF registration to the support@cynicalpeak.com address and we'll work something out with you.

[I doubt many users are worried about that happening again, and Brad and I weren't the ones to "orphan" it. I sold a company that had several products because I got married and bought a house. Those kinds of life changes really only happen once.

True. And, I'm just not worried about that happening with a $30 product.

I realised the other day that I bought WeatherPop 5 years ago for $8. And I still get free updates! It's about time for those authors to make some more money off of me...

I've written here several times over the dismay, grief, etc. that Don Yacktman's actions (or inactions) have caused me. I wouldn't wish it upon an enemy of mine let alone myself again.

Thanks! =)

You have kept the essence that made PulpFiction what it was, but it is now updated with the newer look & feel of Tiger apps (thinking iTunes and Mail; and not that I like that look & feel, but it is what it is).

And, ja, it's tons faster than PF in Rosetta (I had no doubt that would be the case).

I was about to say that it appeared that stylesheets were missing, but that was just that I forgot where the preference was set and what it was called. I'll have to go create one like the old Mail stylesheet, because that's the one I use.

I'll be buying this one pretty quick. Awesome job, guys!
