My first reseller!
I've signed up my first reseller for ReceiptWallet and DocumentWallet. DataViz is now selling the products on their website. Already (in its first day) this has driven at least a few people to my products that would never have otherwise seen them. I hope that this works out well and doesn't cannibalize my direct sales.

Failing the first test to become one of my customers
Just when I thought that ReceiptWallet and DocumentWallet were the easiest to use applications I've ever created, I had a user contact me saying that he couldn't install the software. The installation couldn't be easier. You mount the disc image and look at the picture:

Scanner drivers suck
I've probably written this before, but most scanner drivers for the Mac are garbage. This includes drivers from the major vendors such as HP, EPSON, and Canon. I've been pleased with the drivers from Sysscan for my DocketPORT and the Fujitsu ones are OK. I keep seeing crash reports with my products that clearly point to the scanner drivers. One that came in today looks like:

DocumentWallet Released
Today I released DocumentWallet, a product similar in concept to my ReceiptWallet program. The two programs share much of the same code, but I felt that they needed to be separate applications. The market for this type of program is quite crowded and I own a few of the "competition", but didn't find any one of them to meet my needs. I hope that others feel the same way. I think I've done some clever sales tactics by offering it for 50% off for ReceiptWallet customers. I also decided not to penalize people that buy one and then want to buy the other. Some vendors give you a great deal for a bundle, but if you don't buy it then, tough luck. I now choose to run my business in a way that my customers want to come back. Having an easy to use product should make it easier to sell than some of my past products. I hope it sells well.
