New preview version...

I just posted a new preview version of appTranslator (version 0.53).

Docs !

Back when I published the first preview version, the biggest missing piece was docs. The good news is that the problem is fixed in this new version. It even contains a tutorial ! Pfeewww... I knew I wouldn't cook it in an evening! But I didn't figure putting everything together would take so much time. Not that it's difficult really, but it is indeed a time consuming task: You must organize the sequence of steps so that it's fairly straightforward and not too boring, yet covers the most important features. And is as accurate as possible ! Because when you're following a tutorial, you actually are... well... following ! If one single step doesn't work as expected, you are going to try bridging the gap yourself and if you don't do it the way I expected you to do it, we're no longer on the same path, which unavoidably makes you mad because if these #$&! are not even able to correctly describe the easiest tasks in their software, what can you expect from the software itself !?

Making it easier for first time users

When they started to use the first version, many users told me that the first steps were a little confusing. I wrote that even if they only had to spend a few minutes trying to find their way, it's important to avoid these situations because for one potential customer who accepts to spend these 3 minutes, how many are going to hit the Uninstall button immediately !
I (hopefully) addressed this problem by creating a wizard to help people get started. The nice thing with wizards is that they lead you through the necessary steps to get you started. The bad thing is that wizards are like tutorials: They take so long to be designed and programmed correctly !

Coding time again...

I didn't code much at all during this last month. There was even a moment where I didn't start Visual Studio at all during over 2 weeks. I'm not sure it had happened one single time during the last 10 years ! Now that I am a one-man band, the 2 out of 100 calories rule applies to me as a whole.
But I'm now starting to dive into code again !
