General Software Discussion / Re: General brainstorming for Note-taking software
« Last post by mouser on February 08, 2006, 04:00 AM »
i think we are talking about keynote style programs.

in fact i would RESTRICT this review to HIEARCHICAL note taking programs.

i changed my mind :)

because its mentined throughout the thread, and standing along sort of starts in the middle of a concept, might i change my mind and suggest that we leave it here and you can repost a standalone thread about it, maybe in deals and discount section? https://www.donation...index.php?board=39.0

General Software Discussion / Re: General brainstorming for Note-taking software

i could not agree more with your assessment that this category needs a different approach - the approach you say sounds right to me - though this is actually a direction we are moving torwards in our normal reviews i should point out.

in fact it may be even impossible to do a "if this is what your trying to do, this is the best", and it may just be more sensible to try to do a good comprehensive review where each program is basically taken on its own merits, with a BIG table of features to compare so people can see which ones have the features they want.

with at the end maybe a round up of "favorites".

we could try something unusual like:
ok what if we broke it up into like 3 stages:
stage 1 - identify good apps in this general category
stage 2 - start building the feature table
stage 3 - write some basic text about these kinds of tools, etc
stage 4 - get a bunch of people who use these tools to write a couple paragraphs on which is their favorite tool and why.

just an idea..

very thoughtfull post jroad.   :)
33032
btw.. this may come as a bit of a shock but after working for weeks(months?) on this new hierarchical codebase ive been working on, i think there is a very very high chance that chs will be completely rewritten mostly from scratch..

superboyac, notetaking soft is the #1 requested review on the site..
the problem is, as most of us know, the subject is so huge that it will surely destroy the brain of any human who attempts to write such a review..  seriously it might drive you mad.

Something cool from coder of ImageEn component (image manipulation component used in Screenshot Captor):

http://www.hicompone....com/npayfeature.asp


Do you need to implement a file format which is not available?
Do you need a custom image processing operation?
Do you need a special or custom feature?

Submit your feature request and/or project to [...].  Specify that you are requesting a "Pay for Feature Service" in your email.  HiComponents will review your request to determine if it is possible to add the feature to ImageEn/IEvolution.  We will return an email to you if we have accepted your feature request. 

Pay for your feature only if HiComponents has contacted you approving your project submission.

Notes:
- We emit regular invoice for this service.
- All features will be shared with other users.



That part at the end is the nice idea.. basically you will be "funding" the creation of a feature you need, and presumably pay a lot less for it since it will be shared with others and improve the product in general.  Nice idea i think.

there are probably too many features to code as a coding snack but maybe you could describe the minimal features you think are most important that would make a good coding snack?
