Brian Mueller. It's welcome to the show. I asked you just before we started whether your surname was

pronounced like Robert Mueller of Mueller report fame, and it turns out it's not. Is this something

that people with your surname have to go through all of life? Yeah, especially after all the

news with that. But yeah, it just rhymes with Ferris Bueller. I get that all the time instead.

I have been meaning to have you on the show for so long, and I feel like it, anyway,

you are the developer, author, mastermind, owner.

I don't know what your title is behind Carrot Weather and a whole suite of other applications but I think it's it's safe to say

carrot weather is the flagship is that correct yeah it started with carrot to do the to do list

and basically made a new app every few months until I ended on carrot weather and that ended up being the most popular by far and

just took up all my time. And so I basically have to spend all my time now on Caret Weather.

And I'm stuck, stuck on it. I can't do anything else anymore.

It's the curse of success of the indie developer, right?

And I've seen this pattern for decades.

I was going to say years, but there are so many barebone software springs to mind where

barebones used to have more.

I mean, they still have yo jimbo a little bit, but it's sort of the BB edit company.

I could think of other examples. Tapbots

has a suite of applications, but their social media apps, tweetbot and Ivory sort of are the

the one that takes up all the time. So you did not set out for Carrot Weather to dominate your time

like it did? No, when weather came out or when I was working on weather

anyhow, I just thought that it was going to be another app and then I'd keep doing more and more

of them after that. I was honestly glad when it was that successful that I didn't have to keep making
