One thing I do think warrants saying is that you seem to say style = Apple-ish. I generally use websites to use them, not to criticize them - but if I do remember one I particularly like, I'll of course give you a headsup. No, I cannot think of a specific website or product right this minute, but I have seen them. Which one sets a better tone for introducing a one-of-a-kind designer product? I can call it a dinner spoon or I can call it a “soup delivering apparatus №2”.
#BVCKUP 2 DATAHOARDER FULL#
And the latter has a very bad reputation on the Windows platform.Īnother thing I noticed (geez, I'm full of criticism today) is that you seem to be calling it Bvckup2 now? Is this a permanent name or just a codename, and did the application itself not change versions? To quote your blog, and hopefully demonstrate a small fear regarding this naming: Bvckup (and I assume Bvckup2) are Windows Applications, and just looking at the website and its usage alone, I get a very strong iPhone or iTunes feel. The website feels way too Apple-ish to me, and to be honest I find it offputting. You replied to half of it I think, the other half never came (but I don't fault you for that I know how easy it is to get busy and simply forget.) I stopped using Bvckup v1 quite some time back I remember it was in beta back then and I posted a bunch of findings and such on your forum. Be it on the idea, design or the time it takes to get it done :) Got a thought or an opinion? A snide remark, perhaps? Most excellent, I am all ears. The dev blog is here, and if you are truly bored, there are some bits and pieces of graphic design goodness on Dribbble. Technical details on the version 2 are here. Previous DC thread on the original version is here.
But it yields 5x speed up, so it's worth an effort. If you are partial to programming, you may recognize this as fairly complicated stuff. The scan of a tree on a local disk is about 5 times faster than in the original version, and this is largely thanks to a custom lock-free slab memory allocator used internally by the program. I will be putting up some concrete speed improvement numbers in a bit, but to give a rough idea - the scan of directory tree on a network share is now under 3 seconds versus over 30 second taken by Windows Explorer. The product itself is a step up from the original version in all areas. It is also my best webdesign work to date. While the site is a simple teaser, its main purpose is to showcase minimalistic design aesthetics employed in Bvckup 2. I am very happy to announce the launch of the Bvckup 2 website, the real-time minimalistic backup for Windows.
