You've hit several good points here! This looks really cool. I've never used something like this, but I'm seriously considering buying it. I love the single price up front and the privacy of not sending my tracking data to some unknown server on the internet.
My only complaint is that I absolutely hate the name. I don't even know how to pronounce it. "Cube-serv?" "Queue Observe?" Don't make me think. Also, I'd be embarrassed to try to say the word to someone else when telling them about it. "Looks like a really cool app! What's it called?" "Oh, it's um... Q... Uh... Cube..., uh I don't know. I have to go." And even if I could pronounce it, trying to spell it for someone so they can look it up. Ugh. Forget about it.
- ivm 10y agoHaha, yes, we had some doubts about the name's UX but nothing better was found. It's cube-serve in my opinion, an observing cube. Well, I'm not a native English speaker... :)
- Sean1708 10y agoYou could make the IPA form (kjuːb-sɜːv) part of the logo design, I always think that looks pretty cool.
- ivm 10y ago:D Sounds interesting but I don't know how many users know how to read this...
- kentt 10y agoI would guess that most people don't. I certainly wouldn't feel confident.
- evincarofautumn 10y agoOn the other hand, using IPA more widely would help more people know about it. It is the standard in linguistics—although that’s not necessarily a sufficient argument, as it might be too technical for a general audience.
- graeme 10y agoI open programs using Alfred. There's a heavy risk of me forgetting the name of this. Seems trivial, but this has happened to me before with new, "nice to have but not essential" software. Obviously, once users use it enough they'll remember. But during the trial they may forget about it.
