Seattle Apps

We’re meeting at the Cyclops tonight at 7:30 pm for an unofficial westside Xcoders.

I felt like making a list of all the Seattle-area apps, because I’m proud of my area. Here are apps that were or are made here (to a substantial degree) or were born here or moved here.

Vesper
VoodooPad
Acorn
Napkin
NetNewsWire
Versions
Kaleidoscope
MarsEdit
Glassboard
OmniFocus
OmniGraffle
OmniWeb
OmniOutliner
OmniPlan
Microsoft Office
The Magazine
BusyCal
BusyContacts (coming soon)
Delicious Library
Vellum
The Loop Magazine (TypeEngine)

I’m sure I’m not thinking of some apps (or just don’t know about them).

Most of these apps are represented at every Xcoders meeting. (Except for TypeEngine — I’m not sure I’ve met anyone from there. They’re encouraged to attend, obviously.)

Correction, later: The TypeEngine folks totally did hang out when Jim came to visit. Cool. Of course they should come out more often. :)
