I was holding my breath, wondering what the first full day of sales would be like. iTunes Connect had the daily report available exceptionally early today, so I didn’t have to wait long. The final total: $113.39.

Okay, wait. Just stop a minute. Um. Holy crap! Over a hundred dollars! In one 24-hour period!

Putting this into perspective. I’m sure this is a spike, induced because I’m forcing all the dedicated Hearts Solo players into the Hearts Net camp. It won’t stay that high forever. And my standard of living is such that I can’t survive on a hundred bucks a day. But if I had several projects like this, I could cut back on the contracting work that I do. Maybe even quit altogether eventually.

I’d planned to write more about the spat I seem to be having with some of the grumpy Hearts Solo players, but … no. I stopped reading the reviews, but my friend Steph didn’t. “Class action suit?” Really? Yeah, I’m sure you’ll get back every penny you all spent on my program. Seriously, this is beyond parody at this point. There is nothing I could say to that level of vitriol.

There’s a lot I can say to a hundred bucks a day, though. And here it is: lots and lots and lots of updates. I’m almost finished with the theme-changing feature. I’m just waiting for my best beta tester to have time to check it out. Then it’s headed to the App Store.
