I think, the main problem with U++ is that it is too good for these folks.
It is very hard to sell anything, that has the best solutions to almost every problems on an area. They believe that it is not true, just a lie.
And tey are too lazy to read the docs.

Maybe we have to learn marketing...

That is what it is all about ... you need to create a need for something, just creating something usefull doesn't work!

Hmm to be honest.
For me,first it's hard to figure how to add new file. For adding existing file was 'easier' Smile.

Sometime if we have something good, but 'hard' to use by other, it could be useless.

Keep up the good work, and we can learn from others Smile

Cheers

Well, I think there are some good points to be taken:

- MacOS is priority
- Perhaps we should "reduce the hype" of front page, simplify it and put direct links to examples, screenshots and tutorials (and comparisons) there, because that is what people seems to search first (the most visited page is examples).
- work on docs....

Agreed. Many poeple want the software to be 100% usable without reading docs - and this is true but only for mp3 players and similar apps.

I must admit I had the same trouble Wink Adding a new file must have equivalent in the main menu (toolbar? - maybe little plus icon at the bottom of project file pane (like in ultimate player..))

Yes, this is very important, but currently the links in Examples page point to wrong places. A bug?
