I'm Pulling ColorCopy from the macOS App Store
Summary
This post, written by Cory LaViska, documents pulling ColorCopy from the macOS App Store and shifting to self-distribution via Polar. It details the experiment's metrics (impressions, page views, downloads, in-app purchases, and revenue) and concludes that App Store discoverability did not deliver meaningful value for this macOS utility. The author argues that self-distribution provides greater control and faster updates, questioning the incentives of remaining in the App Store sandbox.
