Justin Williams on focus and vision:
As I look at my iPhone I can name the person in charge of the vision for most of the apps on my home screen. Here’s a hint: most aren’t from large corporations that include the marketing folks and bean counters as part of the development process. They are from small development shops run by just a few people who have an idea of what their product should be and how it can impact the world.
Launch Center Pro, Drafts, Pythonista, Reeder, Instapaper1, etc. All apps created by one person, and all superb. There are certainly apps that do more, but none that are better.

Sure, a large-ish company owns it now. But Instapaper was conceived and created by one person, so it fits. ↩
