Ideas, Ideas, Ideas

Since I started using Get Satisfaction with Poker Copilot to track ideas, problems, and questions, I've had 147 user-suggested ideas.

By coincidence, it is a year ago today since I started using Get Satisfaction. So that's almost 3 ideas per week. Poker Copilot is a one-person operation. Which means, in technical terms, I have ideas coming out of my ears.

If you sometimes feel that it takes me a long time to implement your super-groovy, must-have, highly-voted-up idea, this should give you an idea why!

Nevertheless, keep the ideas coming. It's your ideas that make Poker Copilot the product it is.

don't worry if you can't implement every suggested feature... as long as you implement mine, it's perfectly fine.

(do I have to precise that it's an innocent joke? Seriously: PCP is a great tool. thanks for it)

That's why having a good user friendly bug/RFE tracker is a great thing - requests can sit there for as long as it takes, and it's real easy to see which ones are high priority. Get Satisfaction seems quite good, I'm glad you went with it.

Keep up the good work!

Personally I believe a good forum is a much better tool for customer support and suggestions. One thing you miss out on with Get Satisfaction is power users helping out the n00bs, and in a one man show that's a valuable resource. The other annoyance is the big pile of ideas to weed through. I find it sort of frustrating to try to figure out what's really going on browsing through all the entries there. Which is why I don't bother any more lol. It's easier sharing ideas here in your blog comments ;-)

Here's two more:

Please give us a preference pane option to not bother turning on the "Show mucked cards" window on startup. I hate having to track down that window to close it every time I launch the program.

Why not declare the re-importing of all hand history files a "feature" of the latest 2.1.0 version of PcoP? Seems like you've spent the last ten days in the muck of an automated database update routine, and what for? At best, it's only going to save those of us who have 100K+ hands an hour or two of computer time. It's not like we have to sit here and watch the hands reload or anything. Then you could be spending your time working on something really useful in game play. Whatever spins your jets ;-)

Well, I figure as long as I'm stuck on my own small development shop projects, I might as well brainstorm for someone else ;)
