10K downloads, it slipped by quitely

While I was hibernating during summer, I've been out a lot, we passed the 10K mark of downloads. That's just amazing.
Well, because there is clearly a lot of interest in the widget, but I don't get feedback, I'll start developing a next version. Anybody with suggestions or comments, just let me know and I'll try to implement them.

4000+ downloads

This night, we reached the 4000+ downloads.
I also got a bit of feedback lately so a new release will contain following updates:

  • Preferences to have remaining points on a day being saved automatically
  • New smaller design
  • Integration of history

I'm also looking into creating a database of products and their points. But therefor I need your help people. Feel free to mail me a list of products with their points according to weight.

Thanks, keep the feedback coming

Website updates

The website received some minor graphical updates. I've put some icons left and right, changed a bit the look and feel but nothing important.
I used icons that you can find at the website famfamfam.com in the collection silk.
This icons are free and can be used without any problem by webmasters, like me, on their websites the websites they produce.

I worked hard to get an update online before the first week passed. I reached that goal.
It's possible to download it from now on.
New features include:

  • Minor Bugfixes
  • Points are now rounded at .5 no longer at .1
  • Added the formula for the US-program
  • Points no longer drop below the printed line when added a decimal value.
So let me know if these approvements are appreciated.

Softpedia award on YouDiet. Over 1200 downloads...Great

The software website Softpedia has sended me an email with the following:

Your product "YouDiet 1.0" has been tested by the Softpedia labs and found to be completely clean of adware/spyware components. We are impressed with the quality of your product and encourage you to keep this high standards in the future.

I'm very honored to have received this kind of recognition although I realise they probably test a hunderd products every day and give out this award quite often.

Also, I'm very impressed by the number of people who are downloading my widget. It already almost tripple my expectations for the first week. Over 1200 downloads that is just amazing.
To celebrate this, I've been working to get an update out been tomorrow.
This update will have already these features and maybe more will be added:

  • Bugfixes: Points don't drop when they receive a number behind the point
  • The points are now rounded on 0.5 and not at 0.1
  • After reaching day 7 of the week , the week will be reset automaticly without using the new week button.

Things I'm still working on. Implementing the US formula in the for the points calculation because this one differs a little from the international one.
Adding a history or some sort of graphs to track progress across weeks.

Anyone with ideas, please tell me and I'll try to integrate them in the calculator.
