Hello $605 DMV registration renewal fee. You were not expected.

@deister We have the same lines, you just don’t see them on the screenshot because the overweight area has a black bg.

@deister They didn’t rip our app concept at all. They ripped our graph design. Sure they made a few changes, but it wasn’t enough IMO.

@deister And regarding me being upset that they are plotting the same data couldn’t be further from the truth.

@deister They haven’t played with them enough. Seen Apple’s Stock app in landscape recently? 100% different.

@josh_hofer Those guys stole our graphics straight from our app. A little different. :)

@deister I’ll have to disagree. You have color, shape, line thickness, and opacity to play with. The possibilities are endless.

I’m aware that graphs need an x/y axis and a plotted line. But there are a million ways to design them. A competent designer knows this.

Seems to be mixed views, but most of the designers I respect are saying it’s a rip. (regarding: http://tr.im/qJNh)

@fraserspeirs in America, BMW salesmen are generally pretentious pricks. They are lucky the cars sell themselves.

@xeno To be honest, I had no interest in weight tracking so your site did nothing for me. Didn’t even want to do one for the iphone.

@xeno I’m not speaking for Paul. I’m speaking for myself. He came to me with the idea and said he wanted to do an app that helped his diet.

@xeno What you don’t get is I’m not a businessman nor a liar. It was purely coincidence. If you can’t believe that then not much I can do.

@xeno I have documented proof of our first conversation on chat about the iphone stuff. Can send you if you want. :)

@xeno If you think I’m lying, you definitely DO NOT know me very well. I’m always up front about citing inspiration and I am not a liar.

@xeno In fact, I totally forgot you had a weight tracking site until you mentioned the app to me. Weightbot was Paul’s idea from the start.

@xeno We were working on Weightbot months before you came to me about any iphone apps.

@blacktiemedia Sure there are. There are millions of ways to display a line graph if one has any sense of creativity at all.

@xeno I don’t get it.

Is this a Weightbot graph rip or different enough? Retweet if you think it’s a rip. http://tr.im/qJNh
