I have struggled with technology for the last couple of weeks. When I started this blog I made a rule that I will introduce features on the condition that I can figure it out myself. But the worst part is that many technical components are beyond your control, i.e. web hosts or applications, etc. There is a fundamental flaw in application developed today. Geeks want to introduce leading edge features, its more fun for them. But most people are in a technical overload and they crave simple apps. Applications that do routine tasks better, not make them more complicated by introducing new features. I will try to simplify this blog and features relentlessly.The good news about an open platform is that is always a choice. The bad thing about an open platform is that you have to go through inevitable and highly frustrating technical setbacks in search for the balance. Many times you think that perhaps one can just take a prepackaged platform and stop messing with options. This is such a common life’s dilemma and it plays out in everything we do. As far as blogs go perhaps the time spent on tinkering with options is not worth it, it takes away from the central purpose of playing with ideas not apps.
