I will not use the name of my software in my blog again. Mainly because it will showup in search results and people will know that a crazy man created it. Not that I don't want people reading my blog but I write a lot of nutty stuff in here and things I write can change radically from one post to another. Ah well. Anyway so I found a comment about the software on a polish website. The only way I knew it was polish was the .pl in the domain name. I then copied the text into a polish tranlator and got the gist of what the comment was. It was saying that the browser does it for you already why do you need it. Very true comment and it is something I think about a lot. But when I came up with the software I knew this and thought maybe the creator of the website would like to direct people to certain places for monetary gain or because they know their content would work best with certain links. So it is really a matter of choice (like The Matrix). I have begun the free giveaway of the software. If nothing else comes out of this at least I want to have the satisfaction of people using my software. So that other company finnally came out with their software that competes with me. Again though, their approach is different and is not as open as mine. I am wondering whether the kind of wide-open approach I am taking to the functionality of the software and letting anybody have easy access to it will prevail. Maybe not when it comes to money but at least maybe when concerning use. I don't know. Well now that I have started the special offer of free accounts I have to get some more users tomorrow? Right?

Using server side code with the software would open up a lot of things. Dynamic seed creation would be one of them. Being able to save excerpts and quotes. Some type of online document review system where one could make edit marks and save them. Funny thing about that last idea is that I wanted to do that freshman year of college but didn't know how. Now I know how it could work. I guess I'll put that idea with the rest of em.
