Leveling out...

The first exitement is now over. Even though What's Running is still popular and running at a rate of approximately 200 downloads a day from download.com, the traffic from being a "new item" on several download sites are now mostly gone.

A lower interest is not necessarily a bad thing. The results so far are beyond my expectations. I've amassed a number of e-mail addresses of people interested in information about updates and I've received a fair bit of encouraging comments at various download sites for WR.

So what's next?
I'm currently following two paths that I hope will converge. Firstly, I want to enhance the functionality at whatsrunning.net to get a basic implementation of an application database.
Secondly, I'm fixing bugs and adding some nifty features to an update.

What to call the next version is one of the difficult choices. It wasn't very long ago I published a 2.0. Should the next version be 2.01? In my view that would imply that I have only fixed the most critical bugs. But I am actually adding some important features so maybe I should call it 2.1? or 2.5? or maybe even 3.0.

Time will tell!

Goal of next week

The download stats are coming in. Last week, after only three days, What's Running nearly made it into the top 25 in its category. This week, What's Running has a "popular" marker that might boost the download stats even further.

I'm actually quite humbled, I wasn't expecting that kind of interest.

Meanwhile, I'm working on an update which fixes minor things and adds a few new features. More about these features soon!
