Good luck @joshelman ! App Discovery has been my life for 6 years and there is much to do (in particular search) One egoistic request: Do something about crypto apps. They are under-considered by Apple. Never featured and do not earn the editorial labels other categories have htt…

Apple's app store is going to be re-organized by a big new hire: @joshelman, who among many, many other things was one of the first great minds behind Twitter's people search. Twitter search is world-changing awesomeness. Excited to see what this means! https://www.techmeme.com/.…

@bencasnocha potential narrative violation: @JoshElman disappears from all social media; does top secret work for Apple for 3 years; resurfaces after complete overhaul of App Store. (unlikely, but again this is Apple... 👀😱🙈🙉 🙊)

I am extremely pumped about this Congrats to Josh! This, combined with Apple's recent fee cut, show they may have had a wake-up call in 2020 regarding developer relations https://twitter.com/...

Josh is awesome and is an awesome example of someone who crushes it in tech as a “joiner” rather than a “starter”. Less talked about, but amazing to see it pulled off! https://twitter.com/...

Apple exists in its own orbit in Silicon Valley. I know people ultra well connected in startups and to all the big tech companies...except Apple. Apple is kind of its own, self-contained network. Josh, a consummate connector, will bridge this gap for many. Congrats! https://twitt…
