But like for me back then, I was doing lots and lots of client work for web agencies. But the crux of that is, is by default, the way the web server is set up, you can only use one website at a time, which is fine for some people. So if you’re building websites, it’s a lot faster and easier to test them locally on your Mac than dealing with, you know, a web server in a data center somewhere. Uh, four, four O a wide, an audience that might not be into web development, kind of, kind of give an explanation of what that app does. Brett: Oh, well, give us a quick explanation. And so that’s where the inspiration for it came. Tyler: and that’s exactly where virtual host X came from was at the time I was a full time web dev and I needed that, you know, to do my nine to five job. Uh, kind of scenario does end up working out well for people But in the indie developer community, I think the fix fix your own problem. I think there are people out there who do manage to make apps they know will sell and aren’t necessarily things they need. And instead I do stuff for myself first and foremost, So I’ve stopped trying to make things that I think will sell. Would it be a good app or I thought I saw a market for, but I wasn’t necessarily a fan of myself have failed miserably. Tyler: they all start out almost a hundred percent solving problems that I have myself, every app that I’ve tried to build that I thought. Brett: And what kind of, what kind of Mac apps would you say you right. And that’s what I’ve been doing for the past decade. And then I just kind of, you know, split my time and made the transition to full time Mac and iOS around 2010. So I started learning how to do, you know, McCoist development around 2003. And you know, that whole time I’m building web dev, you know, I’m running on a Mac. Tyler: Yeah, I mean, I did web development, you know, from college on, through like 2008 or nine. Is that, is that kind of primarily what you do these days? Um, but yeah, you, you, you’re just, you’re a prolific developer around the time that NBL came out, you had a, an app called Nottingham that was another kind of notational velocity type of application. So you’re, uh, the reason I know you and know of you, it, well, it actually goes back to one of your apps. So if you hear me wincing, if that comes through the microphone, that’s just from sitting in a chair. And I’ve been looking forward to talking to him because he’s on about the same level of a geek frequency as me. Brett: This week’s guest is Tyler Hall, a Mac and iOS developer, and a father.
