Hi all, I am the developer of a small application for doing general mathematics and numerical computing (think a mini-Matlab). My website is up at http://www.solutionapp.net. The app is currently downloadable for free as an open alpha.
I have no previous experience in the business of developing shareware, so I'm wondering what the best strategies are to entice people to try out your software and report on bugs. I have posted on MacUpdate and versiontracker, and am offering a 30% discount for people reporting bugs and feedback on the alpha version, but so far I've received only a small trickle of feedback (I'm releasing weekly, and the application itself has been public for ~17 days). I'm wondering whether there are any good plans that have worked for you in the past -- I'm trying not to let the application go unnoticed :) Many thanks, Stefano
