[Sebastien Molines and Theo, age 3]
Sébastien Molines came to Ireland with NOTHING.
Apart from tech skills, mind-altering good looks and poetic hair.
LOOK how he’s grown!
Sébastien writes;
I am a Frenchman living in Dublin since 1996. I started GrowthApp after using paper charts to track my son’ Theo’s progress. He needed to be closely monitored as he was failing to gain weight (because breastfeeding wasn’t going well) and hospital paediatricians and nurses all used paper, which was very imprecise. You had to plot measurements yourself and guess which percentile you were at by looking at the percentile lines closest to where you landed. These percentile lines are visible on the screenshot [below], which shows the same growth charts used by paediatricians, but calculation and plotting are automatic and very precise.
So this gave me my first app idea. I dedicated the month of February 2011 to making the first version of the app. I rented a shared desk for €200 in town to make sure that I applied myself to it (I had just finished college shortly after becoming a dad, and having a place where I could work helped). I completed the app and it was released on the 14th of March [2011] after passing its first Apple review. I moved on to a job but I kept improving it over time, making it free with in-app purchase, adding iPad support and various other things. It has now totalled 212,000 downloads without getting promoted. Mostly free downloads, evidently, as the app is pretty useful even without the paid upgrade. And I have since quit my job to give indie app development a shot….

“Minister if you are going to stay in power and the Commissioner’s going to stay in place then I think this parliament is a sham. The people are right to be cynical about politics. They are right to be cynical about politicians.
This place is a joke. We play games in here. Well you know what? Sometimes these games lead to the unfair distribution of justice or no justice being distributed. Sometimes these games lead to people losing their lives. They lead to murders. They lead to the families not getting any justice. And what do we see so often when bad things raise their heads?
We see our police force circle the wagons. We see our politicians circle the wagons. Do what it takes to cover up what we don’t want to see. Do what it takes to hide the truth. Is there any appetite for doing things any different in this house?
“Minister you look up at us and you’d say how dare those poeple with their long hair and raggy jeans have the audacity to challenge YOU. Well, I’ll tell you something, the people of Wexford that elected me to come in here didn’t put me in here to approve of your behaviour, they put me in here to challenge it. It’s time for you to go, Minister, and bring the Commissioner with you.”
