High Fidelity Mac OS X Apps with Java

It’s an open secret that I’m using Java to create Poker Copilot. Java is not a common choice of language for Mac desktop apps. Sometimes it is a struggle to get that Mac OS X look and feel correct to the last pixel.

Fortunately there is Ken Orr, a Mac Java programmer who is dedicated to producing high fidelity desktop apps. With the help of Ken’s blog, I’ve been working on adding a unified toolbar and a source list to Poker Copilot.

End-of-month Report

Two months have passed since I released Poker Copilot. That’s enough months for me to create some comparative charts.

Downloads:

An excellent improvement. I think the increase has come from me posting to poker forums.

Purchases:

No hard numbers for this graph. Just a rather meaningless unlabelled graph! I’m extremely happy that I’ve sold some licences already in my second month. Given my limited advertising, it makes it clear that there is indeed a market for Mac OS X poker tracking software.
