Categorization Improvements

June 16, 2008

It took a while but I have finally completed re-categorizing all 333 applications in the AppSnap database into a more sensible scheme. The original categorization was too trivial once the database grew beyond 50 applications. The current scheme is inspired from many existing schemes out there so it was not hard to come up with. It did take quite a bit of time to relabel each app and then migrate the changes to Zoho. Without Zoho Creators batch import facility, this would not be as trivial. Thanks again Zoho :)

The current GUI does not leverage this schema too well. The new GUI I am working on will do a much better job and make finding applications much easier than before.

As usual, feedback appreciated.

AppSnap TODO published

June 4, 2008

I finally gone ahead and published the long list of TODO items I have been maintaining for AppSnap. I will be keeping this up to date so it should be an accurate representation of what AppSnap will be doing in the future. This list will complement the issue tracker since it is much easier to maintain as a text blob than having to post and manage a long list of enhancements. Feel free to comment on the list. Any discussions emerging from your feedback will surely go towards improving AppSnap.

I have also changed the WordPress theme for this blog from Contempt to Neat, since it is, in fact, neater. The bullets look so much better now than before.

Not many updates as of yet in terms of features but the database is being constantly expanded and bugs being fixed as often as time permits.
