Very nice UI. One big improvement could be a small graphic with instruction when you get to the blank dashboard. At the moment it's looking a bit empty at first impression (and that matters!)

Maybe provide a desktop version which is just a shell for the online site? That is, using AIR or Prism or other?

Good luck, it looks like a great product.



Agreed - user communication and flow management is lacking at the moment.

Hadn't considered a desktop version until now. What benefits does it bring over and above the web app do you think?


Webpage tabs get closed, open, closed.. if this is actually updating all by itself throughout the day, I could see value as running it like a desktop app.

The cost is minimal (to make a prism version for example) and it takes 0 maintenance, and some users which are not uber-geek enough to make their own desktop version might see it as a big plus. "And it run on desktop too? Cool".

Also I could see it running a "public version" on a television hooked on the wall for everyone to see the web app live. Just a thought.

You seem to have all your features coming along, I just wanted to bring my 5c :)

Have some fun.


Thanks for clarifying this. I'll certainly give it some consideration.


I wouldn't bother with a desktop version, most users already have enough things running. Doing a Dashboard widget would be easy through, so would a notifier plugin for the common browsers


It can run in full screen live updating on displays for example.
