Taking flight
A look back at the first two weeks of
selling Syncopation and some thoughts about what is to come.
It's been almost two weeks since my web site went
live and Syncopation 1.0 was first available for download. The initial response
was great, and a bit overwhelming at the same time. In addition to trying to
deal with getting this project off the ground, there's been plenty of work to do
at my day job and I had family in town to top it all off. It made for a hectic
first few days.
One of the things that
I have really enjoyed about this project has been the exchanges I've had with
some of the people that have installed and used Syncopation. Its been very
exciting and gratifying for me to hear about how this program has helped people
or solved a problem for them. It has also been interesting to hear peoples
suggestions for what additions or enhancements they would like to see in the
program.
Thankfully, things have come
back down to normal level of din, giving me a bit of time to get back to doing
some coding. I have a few things in the works for the next version of
Syncopation. One of the things that has been the most frequently requested is
the ability to do Synchronization by playlist. That is definitely something I'm
planning to support in the future.
In
the near term, though, I plan on doing more of a "maintenance" release of
Syncopation, version 1.0.1, which will fix some issues that have come up in the
last couple of weeks and add some minor new features that I think would be
useful to people. More on this later. I'm mostly done with the coding, but
want to do a bit more testing before I release v1.0.1
broadly.
Blogging is also a new thing,
this being my first entry, but I wanted to have a way to share information about
Syncopation and other issues about Macintosh and software development for the
Mac that I thought would be interesting to a wider audience.
