I like beautiful things but I can’t draw shit. I am too passionate about too many things for that. I guess we’re put in a box to be either a developer or a designer, or whatever and just do one thing. I was supposed to be a developer executing on others vision but I’m way too pathologically creative for doing just that. But I wasn’t really fulfilled by the type of job I was doing. Back in the day I was working for important digital marketing agencies doing interactive flash stuff. I’ve started Psykopaint as a side project 5 years ago.

My name is Mathieu Gosselin and here’s my story: It’s both for you to understand and also because I want to get some stuff out there. I think you deserve some proper explanations and context so let me tell you the whole thing. Sorry for not being too entertaining in that email and to tell you that I won’t be able to develop Psykopaint any further. And if you want to find out more about posting your app in the store, visit our documentation at /chrome/webstore.Thank you so much for all your support in those last 4/5 years. To learn more about the stories of these and other successful Chrome Web Store developers, read our case studies. The experience of Audiotool, Psykopaint and Nulab shows that no matter where you’re located, you can always find a global audience for your applications in the Chrome Web Store. In just a few months after Cacoo was released in multiple languages in the Chrome Web Store, the app already accounts for 20% of Cacoo’s user base. Finally, Nulab, a Japanese company, launched its online diagramming app, Cacoo, in the store to expand its user base outside Japan.Traffic to Psykopaint has jumped by 700% since it launched in the store and Mathieu has found that Chrome Web Store users tend to be more engaged than other users. The Chrome Web Store provided Mathieu an opportunity to get his photo painting app noticed outside of France. Psykopaint is the brainchild of French developer Mathieu Gosselin.Audiotool’s traffic increased by 20% after launching in the store, and this motivated the team to release another app in the store. They saw the Chrome Web Store as a way to present their app to an international audience. Audiotool is an online music production app that was built by a team of German developers.In keeping with our international theme, we’d like to highlight a few developers from different parts of the world who have utilized Chrome’s global reach to find success in the store: Graphicly, an early user of in-app payments, saw its net revenues double after starting to use the API and experienced an even bigger rise in profit margins due to increased conversions and lower transaction fees. Integration is easy and transaction fees are only 5%. We also recently launched the In-App Payments API, which allows developers (U.S.-only for now international soon) to sell virtual goods in their apps. The store allows developers from 20 countries to sell apps in the store, and users to buy apps in their local currency.

What makes this global reach even more interesting is the global payments infrastructure that goes along with it. Now all developers can reach a global user base. Developers from around the world have already launched successful apps in the Chrome Web Store to US users. We recently expanded the reach of the Chrome Web Store from the U.S.
