Peter, I really need to know what were your expectations during this frustration time, so I will have a very clear indication about what and how I should improve. You can email me privately at hilaire AT drgeo.eu Thanks Hilaire Le 16/09/2012 21:23, Peter Hugosson-Miller a écrit :
Hehe, AFAIK, "frustration time" isn't a proper phrase, it's just something I made up to try and describe the time it takes from starting up a new program I've never seen before, until it makes me frustrated. In the best of cases that never happens, and I must say that it's highly personal, and depends largely on my expectations at the time.
In this case, I had already decided to buy the app, not knowing if I would have a use for it, just because I like to do things to help the Smalltalk community in any way that I can. In the back of my mind I also hoped it might be something I could use with my kids, to show them a bit about geometry, maths in general, and maybe even Smalltalk. I was not expecting a beautiful, polished finish, nor much in the way of documentation, but I'd hoped that, given a few minutes of time, there would be enough clues to be found by clicking and prodding around, to be able to make it do something cool.
Sadly, during the time I had available during that first look, I didn't manage to make anything happen at all, and I felt frustrated. I fear that someone with higher expectations might have become cross at that point, and that's why I wanted to suggest a tutorial button. Now I know that I just need to go and watch those demo videos before I try next time :-)
