One of the first apps on the App Store in 2008, iBlogger had grown a loyal following of thousands of bloggers who had created over a million blog posts in the first couple years. Countless more after that.
To save the product, we had to kill it.
But iBlogger was always a labor of love for my team, not really a profit center. We didn't have the bandwidth to maintain the old Objective C source code and migrate the app to Swift at the same time.
Too many things were changing at once, new blog platforms being created, old ones being retired, new protocols, social media, and a strong demand for iPad support when the core of the app made unfortunate assumptions about iPhone screen sizes.
To save the product, we had to kill it.
So we did.
Today, that painful decision bears fruit.
iBlogger is back on the iPhone and #iPad #AppStore!
iBlogger 3 is a great new foundation for the future of mobile blogging, all new in #Swift 5 for #iOS and #iPadOS.
