I’m Bryan and I own a software company that makes Mac apps. My claims to fame are CodeKit and Muzzle. Muzzle went to #2 on ProductHunt for the year, so of course, the rest of this article will be about CodeKit.

CodeKit makes building websites easier for professional web developers by automating a lot of tasks. It’ll compile files, auto-refresh browsers as you work, optimize images, etc. The app is 10 years old and has built websites from BarackObama.com to Fleshlight.com. (Seriously.)

When I’m not writing software, I fly airplanes upside down.

Now, before we get any further into this, “I’M AN ENTREPRENEUR AND YOU CAN TOO!” article, I want to make it clear that I had a damn good bit of luck and timing on my side. I worked hard, but I happened to build the right app at the right time. To really succeed, you’ll have to find that right-thing-right-time sweet spot as well. The more problems you try to solve, the more likely you are to find them.

With that said, let’s get on with the pontificating.
