If someone already has tested my components "DDObjects" which are still in pre 1.0 phase I would be glad to receive some further feedback. So far I've received some (and many thanks to the first licensees!!!) but I would also like to learn more about your experiences. This does include negative critism as well I know, this takes some of your precious time but would help me a lot developing these components and know if they are on the right track :-) Regards and many thanks! Stefan -- http://delphi-online.no-ip.org Release of DDObjects 0.9.14 available!

Haven't tested your components, but the website kinda creeps me out. I will sugest you consider separating you business venture from your personal hobby.

While I can understand what Femi means regarding keeping business and hobbies apart... I have taken several tours through some of your cemeteries and have enjoyed them very much....

So there's probably no good separation between my private hobbies and the business venture... which actually can be seen as sort of hobby However, I think I won't seperate the content too much but maybe I'll add an introductionary splashsreen or something similar, which leads you directly to the libraries I do offer. @Paul: What do you think, how I could better "sell" DDObjects in the initial page? @Raymond: Thanks. Nice to read from you again and to know, that you did enjoy my pictures. How do you do? Regards Stefan -- http://delphi-online.no-ip.org Release of DDObjects 0.9.14 available!

So there's probably no good separation between my private hobbies and the business venture... which actually can be seen as sort of hobby One of hobby's definition is as follows: an activity engaged in for pleasure and relaxation during spare time My question is: Will you let your commercial or important project depends on a component from someone that have this approach towards the development of that component? I know I won't, hence my suggestion. Since you are charging for your components, it is now a business and hopefully you'll see it as such. Quote: However, I think I won't seperate the content too much but maybe I'll add an introductionary splashsreen or something similar, which leads you directly to the libraries I do offer. A neutral home page with a link to your interest and components will do.

In fact many popular and wide-spread components for Delphi (and not just for Delphi) grew out from the personal homepages. They (products) have to some extent personalized, "humane" feel and their authors respond in person and are valued for this approach. So if the product is good and gets a good community, then the homepage will not matter so much. And there will always be time for improvements of the product and for it's homepage. So let's give a chance to the product ).

I clearly understand that. Unfortunately, a bunch of them never grew out of this mode. Quote: They (products) have to some extent personalized, "humane" feel and their authors respond in person and are valued for this approach. You can still express yourself without distracting from the packaging of the product. Quote: So if the product is good and gets a good community, then the homepage will not matter so much. Homepage is still part of packaging of the product, and some people will not go beyond the homepage. Quote: And there will always be time for improvements of the product and for it's homepage. So let's give a chance to the product I wish him nothing but success.
