Current product research

Likeable Software is researching a number of areas to be made likeable.

  • Reducing the importance of files
    The chore of naming and managing files is coming to an end.
    Likeable software will take care of storing your work, finding it again, and
    protecting your data from power failures.
  • Peripheral information displays
    Not all information needs your focused attention RIGHT NOW.
    Likeable software will keep you informed in subtle, non-intrusive ways.
  • Rule based notification systems
    Most information becomes important because of a number of interlocking events.
    Likeable software will continuously monitor thousands of conditions and
    notify you when an important combination happens (for example, your
    boss has emailed you three times in the last 10 minutes).
  • Repeating history
    Did you do a sequence of commands last year that you need to do again?
    Or are you being asked the same thing for the 10th time today?
    Likeable software will remember what you've done in the past
    and help you find and re-use it.
  • No fear experimentation
    Are you afraid of trying things with your software because you may lose work?
    Likeable software will intelligently, and easily, allow you to backtrack your
    normal work. And where it can't, the interface will be simple enough that you
    will be sure that you are doing the right thing.

If any of these areas are of special interest to you, and you would like
to discuss them, an email would be welcome (see Contact).
