App Updates

The Voxsmith v2.1x track is almost complete. Only some final security touches and a feature implementation and it will be ready to rock. Demo video I expect should be ready sometime in the next couple of weeks.

And today I stuck a flag in the ground for my next app: FlowPath. There is a spec. There is a Powerpoint of mock screen layouts. There is a v0.0.1 that actually does the thing, in a very limited fashion. And I think it’s going to be pretty neat!

FlowPath is a How-To creator. Desktop only, cross platform, local first. It allows the user to create how-to’s quickly with screen shots and steps, saved to their local computer with the ability to sync to a team folder. Those How-To’s can then be viewed in the app or exported, shared or printed. It’s gloriously simple. And it will tie in with Voxsmith at some point, being able to create audio how-to’s and video walk-thru (future version).

I was going to break up with developing earlier this week. I was having some issues with my meds, which put me in a very bad place. Some naps and med changes later, I re-examed the project with new, slightly wearier eyes. And I started working.

But working in my way. I’m not a developer. At best, I could be called a “web designer”, but ew, no. What this really means is I am very visual. I have to see a thing before I can make it do what it needs to do. Backwards. Still, I started researching with ChatGPT, having it generate some wireframes. Those don’t quite get close enough for me, so I opened a blank powerpoint deck and quickly laid out the 4 primary screens of the app.

Did I mention gloriously simple?

A Home Screen, a creation screen, a setup screen and a reader, which is reused from the setup screen.

It will do its thing, it will do it quickly and without fault. Hopefully. And, it will do it on Windows, Mac and Linux. No, really. Comments are open if you have questions about Voxsmith or FlowPath.
