Target market seems to be more VPN alternative in environments where VPN usage is prohibited/banned/tracked.

resists an urge to throw an boomerang at it

now if only we could teach humans to also not annotate when they have nothing to add

now at long last we can be... better

Schema's that reflects reality not the current specs. Flexibility is key. In my experience adding tables and migrating existing data to them is hard, adding columns easy. So spend extra time at the start on what tables there should be.

Spec: Product has a supplier [tables:product, supplier]

Reality: Product can be bought from multiple suppliers [table:product, supplier, product_supplier]

visual basic .net I like the more humane/natural syntax compared to c#. There are also some very nice programmer productivity features like XML literals.

To absolutely nobody's suprise native code is more efficient and thus allows lower spec hardware. Going for native/QT totally makes sense for a fixed hardware target.

very cool. Any plans to open source the code?

Firefox's best feature is that it is made by a non-profit organization.

If you target mobile and your app/site can work on slow connections then the market is huge. For example South Africa has about 20 million users(out of 50 million) with some internet access but only about 5-10 million has broadband.

South Africa and Kenya has good and fast internet in the cities and large towns.

Don't expect to use AWS or Azure because none of the mayor cloud providers has a DC in Africa. So hosting local is advisable otherwise you incur latency of at best 180ms.

I agree, there needs to be one open DRM specification that everybody can implement. There can then be discussion and debate about what level of DRM is reasonable; balancing rights of content holders and content consumers. Nobody is going to be perfectly happy but such is life. Every time the drm is broken there can be a new revision of the spec, so if you want to play netflix your browser has to be up to date. Ideally there would an open source reference implementation shared by the open source browsers (webkit,firefox) so the impact on development resources are minimized.

My suggestions: 1) Mention that it is Windows only and supports Windows 8 2) Take the screenshots with the DevExpress Metropolis skin if your app doesn't look too bad with it. It looks like a "modern" windows 8 app 3) Big free 15 day trial button 4) Basic version for $20; Advanced version for $99 (e.g. Report designer only in Advanced version)
