One suggestion (actually two) regarding your webpage: Publish screenshots and put away those popus.

Yeah we want screenshots!

Unless somebody wants to donate webspace, create a forum section, etc I'm afraid the popups are a necessary evil. Sorry. Turn on your anti popup stuff... works for me, I don't see any popups on Safari. Anyway it should just appear once in the forums.

Screenshots: soon! This is all very new. We are just 2 guys who do have day jobs (and pretty busy ones at that!!) so this is basically a "night job". It's pretty easy to DL the app and just see it in action for yourself... unles you've got a PC, ofcourse.

Anyway screenshots will go up ASAP.

what plans do you have for it other than it being an application launcher?

emdub · 03-14-2005, 10:21 AM

Can we do this in the application forums? At least everybody else could have access to the questions...

The software is very dino. I think it definatly needs some work on the overall design. I like the concept and it begins to work from a functional standpoint, but you need to improve it before trying to sell it. Your idea is good. Your scripts are extremely basic. I was about to post the shutdown/sleep scripts for free if anyone around here wants them. Its easy to do. Write the script then assign it an icon on the desktop. Basically the same thing you have done here w/o the bulky program you've put together.

I like the idea. If you need help on improving the overall look, I am a full time designer and would love to work in conjunction w/ you on this. I lack the programming skills to create some of the things I would like the application to do. So maybe we could work together.

Currently I am developing my own interface, but am always looking for something new and improved.

Good job on the first attempt though. Don't think its worth the 25 bucks IMO.

Does not work.

But the above post is the most useless post I've seen. What doesn't work? The website? The software? The installer?
Perhaps some ******* details to help the developer improve on whatever isn't working would be in order.

Kudos on a Mac Front End project, BTW.

That was random. Looking forward to getting my mac as soon as money allows so I can start testing out these frontends.

Nice post there. I wasnt expecting that! What doesnt work is the program doesnt even open! Just like the other poster stated, it opens then right away it closes. The thread is about a NEW INTERFACE SOFTWARE, NOT ABOUT THE WEBSITE.

Is that good enough of an explanation? The thread is about a NEW INTERFACE SOFTWARE, NOT ABOUT A WEBSITE, so if I say DOES NOT WORK, that pretty much explains what it.

Thanks. I try.

As someone who supports software, general statements like yours offer NOTHING to diagnose the problem. Without a diagnosis, you'll never get a resolution.

Was I harsh? Damn right I was. Was it on-target? Damn right it was.

Get with the program, n00b. If the new software ain't working, then help the guy to get it to work rather than posting a mindless one-liner.

Maybe the reason its not working for some is your running an old version of os x. I think this program requires at least 10.3 perhaps even 10.3.3. I downloaded it and it started up the first time I attempted to run it. Can't complain with something like that.

I think its a great first attempt. And as the developer stated more updates will follow. But at this point in the programs life, I'm more happy to use my dock as an application runner rather than the program developed.

The interface look is definatly dated and looks cheap. I want my frontend to be slick. Keep it up and like I said, I am a graphic designer full time. I would love to give you a hand w/ the look and interface.

Let me know

Keep it up.

As suggestions to your site:
Screenshots, screenshots, screenshots.
System requirements

Also, please be aware to provide constructive critism, not *****ing and whinning.

I would like to test your app, but unfortunatly I am running 10.2 and waiting for 10.4 to upgrade. Until your app is more mature, chances are the admins will not create a app forum for you guys yet.
