100%

Posted by Clifford under Business

I’ve had a chance to play around with the alpha version of our 2.0 software.  Yeah, I’m pretty stoked.

One of our goals with our new software was to incorporate 100% of our user suggestions into the product.  Some suggestions we incorporated right away, thinking the users would gain the most benefit from them.  For example: being able to input expenses either by month or by year.

One suggestion: add commas to separate big numbers.  Afterall, when you look at the number 1450000, does your mind think 14 million, 145 thousand or 1.4 million?  I went to a public school so I have to count.  But sticking in a simple comma turns 1450000 into 1,450,000 which is definitely easier and quicker to comprehend.

Does a suggestion like this require a complete upgrade for users?  I don’t think so.  This suggestion we put into a future-bucket, to be added when we did a major release.

Well, the major release is coming so we baked it in.

At the end of the day 100% of our customer suggestions will be addressed by version 2.0.

Gee, that almost sounds like a marketing point . . .
