Newest Syncplicity Employee
hello everyone! i wanted to introduce myself to the syncp community. i recently joined and i’m already right in the thick of it! since the first beta, i’ve been playing around with syncplicity and thought it was a really good product. leonard and i had met through a mutual friend of ours and quickly bonded over the trials of startup life. at the time, i had founded my own startup and was trying to get that off the ground. like many other people on the forums, i had been badgering him to develop a syncp mac client since most of my personal files are on macs.
when leonard decided they would make the mac client one of their highest priorities, i was inbetween things and he somehow convinced me that if i wanted a mac client, the quickest way possible would be if i wrote it myself. this will teach me never to ask for anything again :). i also discovered that isaac and ondrej were really awesome guys and also much smarter me, so it was an easy decision.
looking at the forums, i’m pleasantly surprised by the number of people who have given syncplicity such positive and useful feedback. i am really excited to have such quality users and will work hard to match the level of excellence the windows client has achieved. i will be contributing to the forums from now on. if you have a concern or idea for the mac client, feel free to drop me a line on the forums or directly at ian[at]syncplicity[dot]com.

So, Ian …
How’s the Mac client coming along?
Are you on schedule? I could really use it soon, ’cause I’m changing jobs in just a few weeks, and I’m hoping to use Syncplicity to keep a bunch of files in sync in a transition period. Is there hope for me, or do I need to settle for Dropbox’ semi-public beta and their less than ideal single-folder system?
Hoping …

Any more concrete news on the Mac client? Like many people out there, I would love to drop Dropbox for Syncplicity’s more advanced features…
Thanks
