Congratulations! We had our first in June.

Long before I considered having a child, I built the first baby names app for iPhone with my buddy Dave. [1]

Believe it or not, we had a beef going with another app developer over who truly had the first / best baby names app. App game has been competitive since the get.

To you as well :)

That's impressive! Around that time my brother was desperately trying to get me to build his app ideas so we could partner together. I dismissed him as I was busy focussing on school and thought there was no real money in mobile apps. I still regret it today..

Obvious question: who had the lower app id?

I’ll have to look! I think it might have come down to who was live in the store first.
