  • Pownce Desktop 2.0 alpha released

    Posted on July 12, 2008 at 22:09 +0200 Tagged with , , ,

    Pownce released last night the first alpha of their new desktop client. The previous, at least for me, had become unusable due to login problem and such, so I'm quite happy that there is finally an official -- yet still alpha -- replacement.

    This new version thankfully comes with a simplified style and also embeds content like YouTube movies and the like instead of requiring users to once again go to the actual website. The client still uses Adobe AIR and is therefor available on Windows, MacOSX and Linux.

  • New Pownce.app on the horizon?

    Posted on July 2, 2008 at 12:12 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    For the last month and for some reason I never could log into Pownce using the official Pownce.app anymore. No idea why, but it seems like the App has enough problems to justify a move that I would have never guessed possible: Pownce now suggests more or less officially, that you should use a different app -- and PownceMonkey in particular -- if you're "experiencing substantial bugs".

    (Pownce is currently working on a new Pownce app - in the meantime, users experiencing substantial bugs may want to try http://powncemonkey.com )

    Big props for admitting that there are indeed tons of problems with the current app. Now I just hope, that the new app will offer such nice things like content preview and such :D For instance I'm still not really convinced that AIR is a good solution for stuff like that. First of all it still doesn't offer the look&feel of a native application and only in really rare cases it offers all the functionality the actual website -- it's supposed be a frontend for -- has. A small docklet that just shows me that there is new content would be much more interesting to me which just keeps me up to date and gives me some notification when someone posts something new.

    While I'm at it: This would be really nice for FriendFeed too ;-)
