John Gruber (born 1973) is a writer, blog publisher, UI designer, and the inventor of the Markdown publishing format. Gruber is from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area. He received his Bachelor of Science in computer science from Drexel University, then worked for Bare Bones Software (2000-02) and Joyent (2005-06). Since 2002, he has written and produced Daring Fireball, a technology-focused blog. He hosts a related podcast called ''The Talk Show''. In 2013, Gruber, Brent Simmons, and Dave Wiskus founded Q Branch, to develop the Vesper notes app.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vesper )〕 ==Daring Fireball== Gruber has described his Daring Fireball writing as a "Mac column in the form of a weblog". The site is written in the form of a tumblelog with occasional articles that discuss Apple products and issues in related consumer technology. Gruber often writes about user interfaces, software development, Mac applications, and other media's coverage of Apple. Gruber also runs a linklog called ''The Linked List'', posting brief commentary between the longer articles on the front page. In 2004, Gruber began selling memberships, where readers donate an amount of money annually to show support for Gruber's writing and also to gain access to other perks. The perks included more detailed feeds, but Gruber has downplayed the importance of the extra features, comparing them to "PBS tote bags". Daring Fireball logo T-shirts are also sold, which include a membership and a discount on further T-shirts. All of the site's content is freely available, and in August 2007, Gruber made all of the site's feeds freely available as well, and each week the feed features a sponsor. Gruber's last account of his part-time Daring Fireball income called it a substantial side income, short of a full-time salary.〔 For most of the time when Daring Fireball was a part-time project, Gruber worked as an independent web designer; between late 2005 and April 2006, Gruber's main job was at Joyent where he helped with the TextDrive acquisition. In April 2006, producing Daring Fireball became Gruber's full-time job, funded by advertisement revenue, membership fees, T-shirt sales, and donations from software projects also hosted on the site, such as Markdown. Since 2006, the site displays advertisements from (The Deck ), an advertising network serving sites like A List Apart and 37signals in addition to Daring Fireball. In addition to this, many Amazon.com links carry Daring Fireball's referral ID, and the site's preferences include a choice of local Amazon store. As of October 2015, Gruber charges US$9,750〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Daring Fireball: RSS Feed Sponsorship )〕 per week for RSS feed sponsorship which includes a "promotional item during the week" and a "linked list item" to the sponsor at the end of the week. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Gruber」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
