Jacob Blackstock launched a tester version of Bitstrips in the App Store in early October. It was a "stealth" launch for friends and family to work out the app’s kinks, but the world found out. Two weeks later, Bitstrips was the no. 1 app in 40 countries and showed no signs of stopping — even though it barely worked. The app was supposed to let users quickly create humorous comic strips featuring digital avatars of their friends, but Blackstock’s servers were crashing hard. After six years the business was finally taking off.
