I am proposing a small change in Windows that can lead to big improvement to the user experience.

Yes, you are right that Linux has its merits. But I don't want Windows to become so bad that the people move to Linux because of this. I want people to move to Linux because it has become better than Windows.


well said! I have been a windows user since windows 98 (bought my first PC in 2000) and a Linux user since 2009. Once Windows 8 came out, I felt like this is not going where I want it to be so I tried to move as much as I can to Linux. As of now, only 1 (out of 4 PCs I use on daily basis) is running Windows. But as you mentioned, it is sad to see such a good product is becoming unusable because of such terrible UX decisions.


As I like to say, building medium to big project is like running marathon and not a sprint, because at the moment when you have no air and you are exhausted you will have to stop. And a half-build project is useless opposed to a late project that works. Better late than never.

No, they don't, but they sell personal data safety.


The SAAS vendor will be used for its build expertise only. After the build the bank will deploy inner cloud. And the provider will be payed well for the build and for support.


I don't think you are using the same definition of software as a service as me! Salesforce.com is a SaaS vendor, it creates a solution that is shared by many users on a cloud...

Describe your company in detail in https://Glycast.com/AuboutUs and do not put link to CarouselApps.com.

Or redesign CarouselApps.com and spread your new product on the homepage and move older stuff in some archive type page.


I agree with @zebra. CarousleApps.com is also very confusing to look at.


Thank you both for the feedback, much appreciated.


The only screenshot that is visible on the site is from the demo of Metronic Theme - HTML5 theme for sale. My gut feeling is that this is just test for demand and there is no real product behind.

Edit: I was wrong - there is a product. But it looks so fluffy at first glance.


Yeah - definitely put a lot of work into this. Will update the screen shots and reduce fluffiness. Thanks!


I'm only two months into this regime. I want to see durable results and maybe I'll start. But my town is not big. Is there a way to make an online workshop?


Sure, but I'm wondering now if an ebook 'brought to you by todo.yt' might not be a better idea in your case. Real experience presented with a real solution. You could collect emails, let people pay what they want (as thanks) via Gumroad etc. or just give it away under CC. Or do all of those... If you want help writing, happy to look it over with you.

Really like your thinking with todo.yt. I'm between folded lists in Vim and Trello most days. TBH I could live without Trello if I just tagged each todo line effectively, but your app brings all that timetracking and priority goodness to the situation.


Is it possible to write a book about my experience?

It will be very short: "I decided to make a tool for my needs. Work. Work. Work. I liked the result and I added multiuser. Now I am struggling to find a way to show it to the world."

I will contact you.


There was another point but because of 2000 char limit:

10b. If the task is too long in time or too boring you may set an egg timer for 45 to 60 minutes and make the relaxation break.
