Developer's Corner / PHP post form for bug reports and feedback
« on: June 01, 2011, 10:43 AM »
I am currently looking into using PHP and Get/Post functions to give my app the ability of sending user feedback or bug reports via an html form on our site. We are currently just sending these through POP3. I have never done any heavy work in PHP so I have a few concerns about the security downfalls of doing something like this.

Any opinions? Could I be going about this the wrong way?

General Software Discussion / Alpha Search - In File Search Tool
« on: May 24, 2011, 07:56 PM »
Hello guys!

I just wanted to let everyone know about an application that Deo, my friend and co-developer of Quick Cliq, developed.

It is for quickly finding strings in text files and supports RegEx.
I use it for searching through source code and it has helped immensely.

Check it out here on the AHK forum (Binary Included): Alpha Search

Developer's Corner / Motivation For Freeware Maintenance?
« on: December 21, 2010, 02:10 PM »
You love coding, developing, and building a product. It is great while you are really moving along and even better the closer to release.

... But what about after? If you release as freeware with no ulterior motives and very little donations coming in what is your motivation to support all the users you have acquired? Why would you spend quite a bit of your free time fixing tiny bugs, answering e-mails and pushing updates?

Anyone in a similar situation that can offer up their reasoning behind sticking with it?

Developer's Corner / Best way to get user count?
« on: November 19, 2010, 05:03 PM »
What do you think is the easiest way to get the number of current and active users for your software?

We have an updater in place and we can track how many times the application has been updated to all versions, but then new users could also download the newest version which they might use or just throw away so they may not necessarily be a user.

Anybody have an elegant way of finding out this information without intruding on the users privacy?

Known Issues
None that we haven't squashed yet! But be sure to let us know if you find one!

Quick Cliq is in active development so please let us know what you think we are doing wrong or right and of any bugs if you find some. The better our user base is the better the application will be.
