As a freelancer having exactly the same problem when working on multiple projects, I made Freeter (https://freeter.io). Give it a try - maybe it will be helpful to you.
I made this app because I constantly search for something and have to often re-type similar queries and setup same filters on search engines. Then I realized that it would be way better if I just could define scopes for specific searches, and quickly reuse them. Searchy does just that.
Wow! Thank you for such a great feedback! I really appreciate it.
> I should be able to open folder in system browser to continue my work there
That's already on the to-do list. I'm planning to add "right-click" menus. For the file explorer there will be a menu item enabling to open a selected file/folder in the system browser. Will play with it and then think about adding the copy/move/rename/delete operations. I also had an idea of adding interactions between File Explorer instances, but not sure if that will have any value yet.
> Contact list (and action list) should display item names
Yeah, I agree with that. One of my projects already has about 10 actions and it definitely would be easier to find the right one if all their names were shown at once. Added to the to-do.
> UI feels generic
I will check what can be improved there.
> a box where I can glance at status of project, displaying progress on individual tasks
Can you give some more details on how it should work to be a good fit for you? Something like a simple personal task manager?
> It would be nice to include demo project
Got it. Sounds cool. Will add a demo in the next versions.
> the user manual is superb. The software is easy to use and I can see it becoming very useful.
Glad to hear you like it! Thank you! More improvements and features coming.
Thank you for the feedback! Will improve the landing page. As of now, could you take a look at https://freeter.io/user-guide if that makes things clearer.
There will not be a huge problem with building a Linux/OSX version. It's built on top of Atom Electron which enables to create apps for Win/OSX/Linux. Just need to fine-tune os-specific things, docs, setup a certificate and app-signing for osx. Will try to release on May.
Just tested it on both Chrome and FF, couldn't reproduce it. Does a spinner appear when you click the buy button? Can you paste the error from the browser console? Thank you.
Creative was the closest term I could find for those who create things such as sites, mobile/desktop apps, games, etc.
I have lots of routines while I switch between and work on projects: open project files with different editors, execute command-lines, check task manager. All these things I can access with Ctrl+Shift+F and execute with a single click. That saves me a ton of time and effort. I'm not a web designer, I make web/desktop apps :)
Thank you! I already saved myself from the project-switching pain. Hope it will help you too when the Linux version will be ready. No specific dates yet, but it's on my to-do list :) Will try to release it on May.
