I was not aware that nobody uses PoF, seems pretty popular to me. I am in Canada (Montreal) though, and this is the first time I've heard that Canada is a PoF niche, so I guess that explains it.

For those who say PoF is an inferior product: with dating sites, it all boils down to 1) number of local users, 2) easy results filtering, 3) easy communication. For me PoF had all three.

I met my wife on PoF, by the way, so: Thanks!

Another one here, which I like because it remembers your 'N' and lets you advance only when you're ready.

"you sell them more than work: you sell them peace of mind."

This is the key to freelancing in general, as my father always tells me.(freelance photographer in the Middle East for almost 40 years: http://gustavoferrari.com/).

Whether it's online or off, if you can convince your clients that you can get the job DONE, with no excuses or delays, they will come back again and again. They want to be able to send you work, and forget about it, confident that you will come through.

This is actually pretty cool (check out the YouTube video). I wish it was easier to add events.

The use case cited is bus schedules, but it is really quite broadly applicable. Any time you have something "coming up" you can see at a glance how much time you have left till then.

I think many more people would use this if it was turned into a product, rather than an SDK or a collection of .jars.

I enjoyed your analysis James. I was also struck by that picture, and it remained vividly in my mind for longer than I expected it to.

Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely agree. I didn't even see it till it was mentioned here.

Good idea, and look well-executed.

I would add more images and examples of the application in use.

Also, choose more relevant examples... the only one I see is a comparison between the same image with color changes. Show something like a whole website project from early stage (sketched mockups) to later stages (details in coloring and font choices, or whatever).

Also, IMHO, the copy should focus more on the benefits for the designer (get better feedback faster, more often) than on the benefits for the client ("Save your clients the hassle of resizing browser windows, or printing...")

This is a great looking app and site, especially if you were learning as you went.

Good luck! Adriano

This is quite good. I love the 3 item limit. Forces you to pick what's important, and get it done.

I currently use TeuxDeux list, but only to track my "One important task" for the day. I rarely need to see anything other than today's tasks, though, so I might switch to this.
