I did end up getting a response via their blog and now finally, the response I'd been hoping for, with them adding the feature:

I'll be changing my profile pic back.

Discover new interesting software is for me the most importante feature of wakoopa. Actually it's very limited.
The classification of the office 2.0 database is most efficient to discover new aps.
here : http://o20db.com/db/setup/

1) kind of software sorting by frequency
2) then Suggestion by kind of software

Thanx

I think this is a good suggestion. Wakoopa should make it easier to find your most actively used programs.

Nobody loves me. :`-( =P

I have made this suggest via your website too and never got a response then either.

Normally by now I would have been so pissed off by getting ignored for so long that I would have just stopped using the product, but unfortunately it's just too damn good. So I will just have to keep persisting till somebody finally decides to notice me. Hell, I'm even still promoting the damn thing to all of my tech friends.

Hm, very interesting. I'll definitely take a look at this. Thanks for the link!

Hovering wouldn't let me see the information for all products at once. I would have to hover the cursor over single icon whereas in a tag cloud I can see the information for all those icons with one glance.

By the way I've stumbled upon an interesting suggestion regarding tags and hierarchical categories. It was given for a wiki platform but it could be an interesting point for Wakoopa, too. Here it is: http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-... [Forum » Wikidot features and bugs / New features and ideas » Hierarchial Tags].

No replies? Was my suggestion too long?

Search through the list of apps that I have used

I use Wakoopa to track what software I use or find while using different PCs (ie. home and work machines), so that if I go home and suddenly I have a need for an app which I found while at work a month ago, I can just look it up in wakoopa. However this has been becoming more and more difficult as time goes by as the total number keeps increasing.

In the worst cases (which comes up a lot) I have to first go to the usage page (http://wakoopa.com/gerry/usage [which isn't the easiest thing to find btw]) and then search the current page using firefox, then I have to click on the second page page in the "What I use actively" list and then do another in page search, then I have to click on the third page page in the "What I use actively" list and then do another in page search, then I have to click on the fourth page page in the "What I use actively" list and then do another in page search, then I have to click on the fifth page page in the "What I use actively" list and then do another in page search, then I have to click on the sixth page page in the "What I use actively" list and then do another in page search.

AND if I happen to have gotten the name wrong or to have spelt the name of the software incorrectly I have to do this again for all 6 pages (well it's currently at 6 pages anyway). Which means I'm going through 12 pages looking for something that I should have easily able to find by checking a box next to the search field which would limit it to software that I have used.

Otherwise, LOVE your app and am a big fan and have gotten others to use it.

I sent off this idea (along with a few other suggestions) quite a while back when I first started using Wakoopa, but didn't hear anything back on any of them. :(

I would love to see this feature as I see it as a must have.

> I'm not really sure how this can be calculated without blowing up our database

Well you wouldn't calculate it on the fly, you would maybe run a cron job and cache the result. Although I'm not sure I'd find this useful. Perhaps the most "valiant" person would know the best software in each category, but maybe not.

Yep, would also love to see this

If you do decide to choose another mod, please make it one who's on the other side of the world to you. No point in having two in the same time zone.
