A forgotten milestone: 10000 lists

As our friend mentions, Checkvist is already over 10 000 lists, which can be considered a humble milestone. While thanking him, I was wondering why I do not really find numbers that important. What are we developing for? What is important, then?

• It’s not money - the tool is free and we do not aim to get ourselves a Ferrari by adding a paid plan, or selling it to a big company.
• It’s not market dominance - we’re pretty aware of other tools, their smart and rich features.
• It’s the joy. The joy of making a tool that would prove useful not only to ourselves but to some number of people who’d love it and use it. The joy of communicating with those people, discussing future plans and features, creating the tool together.

This is it, I think. We see a long road ahead - adding search and tags, and dates (and other attributes), creating new web app for iPhone, improving UI look and feel, polishing existing keyboard support, etc, etc. With your help and participation it’ll be the biggest fun a software developer can get.

10000 lists is great, but let’s continue. For the joy of it :)
