Add "How do you use [app]?" to the forums

Posted April 25, 2008 by Joachim in suggestion user-scenario

Jesse, in your interview you mention

Unfortunately, I don’t really keep very good track of things like user base or what people use it for. But since I released TaskPaper last October, WriteRoom’s sales have really picked up. At least a couple hundred a month. My guess is that many people use it for medium-length writing like blog posts or long e-mails, but I don’t really know.

Why don't you just add a separate Forum category for that? This way you can get some insight into how folks are using your apps. Over at Scrivener this is a separate forum as well. I almost started a thread, but I felt it would go by the way-side soon, and you have an ongoing interest as a developer to get some user scenarios for the use of your applications, no?

Just a thought.

Cheers, -Jo

Sorry for not responding to this... I think this make some sense, but it would also require some effort to setup and keep fresh. If I just create a few form that might work for a while, but in the long term I think it might just confuse people and make the forums page that much more complicated.

But if anyone does want to writeup how they use my apps I'd love to read through it. Just post it in the appropriate app forum as a new topic.
