No offence intended but I took a look at your website (which is very neat and tidy BTW), and looked at the screenshots but I do not see how your app (consisting of mainly a listview control) is "prettier than any others".

I can see how having a simple UI with few controls on it can sometimes be translated as "pretty" in certain circles, but simply having few features and few controls doesn't magically mean your app is top of the pile on the entire Earth regarding "prettiness". It is quite an assertion to make.

EDIT: Again, this is not meant offensively but was more of a response to the assertion that the app is prettier than ANY others.

Furthermore, I certainly agree with the rest of the comment where they state that more attention is paid to UI etc. on MacOS than other platforms, typically.




Didn't mean to come out too proud.

Really this is just what users have been telling me last 6 months. "I bought it because it looks good."

Guess they're just used to worse.


That's good then (and it does look neat). I wasn't meaning to sound too critical either, my apologies.

Out of interest, how did you market it / raise awareness of it?


You could quite easily make an application that looks like that in either GTK or Qt and fits with the current desktop theme on Linux
