Software Review: Chris Pirillo’s Adobe Air App Pixie Check List

April 2nd, 2009 kylepotts

We all know Chris Pirillo, no need for an introduction. Chris recently released some of his one Adobe Air Applications.

Chris asked some people to write a review for his software. So here it goes.

The Good

  • It is cross platform. It is an Air application. Runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac.
  • Install is easy since it is  an Air application
  • The UI is small and easy to learn (uncluttered)
  • It is very easy to export a database for the To-do’s
  • The Application is functional and does what it is supposed to do.

The Bad

  • It is almost to simple to donate for
  • The whole UI is filled with links to Chris’s Blog, Twitter, and Youtube (This one pisses me off)
  • There are plenty of other free web applications and desktop applications that are much better.

How can we fix this?
Hard question easy answer. Open source. If Chris would put out the source code to the software his following of geeks would take hold of it and craft it into what I think would be an amazing program that might actually be useful. Or if Chris can make the software more functional. Why should I donate to Chris for reinventing the wheel? I think that is terrible to ask for a donation for such a simple app. How about ” Hey try out this software, and let me know what you think” That sounds much better than “Hey donate for this software”.

If you would like to donate or get this application. Head on over to http://www.apps.pirillo.com to get them.
