It was people building amazing things with this, and it was great. So yeah, I was kind of a bit nervous, and a bit worried about that, but also just basically very excited that there were all these plugins, and I was excited by what the plugins were doing. So I think people also contributed there and fixed things and helped out… So you have to retain objects and release them at the right time, and things like that… So that’s actually really difficult to get right. I’ve since added the ARC stuff, the automatic reference counting for objects, and memory allocation… It didn’t have that. People even submitted fixed where – you know, you have to manage your own memory then. I really didn’t know Objective-C very well at all. So it was great, it was like winning the lottery, or something. It was all of a sudden there were lots of people using this and lots of people contributing to it. And that was a big surprise… I had to take a day off work, because I wanted to reply to people in the community, and also wanted to get the plugins merged into the repo, so that other people could use them… So this instant community sprung up it wasn’t something that grew organically. Yeah, so there was 65 pull requests in one day, and I was getting an email for all of it… So that’s how I found out, I just suddenly had lots of spam.
