Happy Good Friday and a Happy Easter!
It has been over one month since the last sale. And i would like to kick this one off by releasing the latest improved version of HSMAdvisor.
Starting Today all HSMAdvisor licenses are on 25% discount!
Well, i actually released it a day ago. Just could not hold it to my self and wanted to share it with all the customers who are anxiously awaiting for something new!
As i mentioned before, in this update i completely redesigned the Speed and Feed Calculator's interface.
Typical workflow would consist of filling up all available information top- to bottom.
The most important input fields are now located on horizontal panels.
Each panel has a name and carries a certain set of data:
But wait, there is more!
Most panels can now also expand revealing all the secondary less important fields that you can use for fine-tuning your calculations:
Again starting NOW you can get any HSMAdvisor license at 25$ discount

I have to say, I actually found the old UI to be more usable.. I now find myself searching for items, as the new vertical flyouts make it so nothing is in a fixed position. The old layout also made better use of window space as the formatting matched a monitors aspect ratio better (information was spread out horizontally, rather than just a single vertical column.) The new one is visually a bit more appealing and I like the color scheme, but just doesnt seem quite as functional.. I suppose I can always roll back.

When you get used to something and are comfortable with it, the old layout was in fact better In  a way that everything was on the screen. ButI i feel I lost a lot of first time users who just launched the app for the first time and were completely overwhelmed by the amount of information on the screen. Even I - the guy who created it, had to for a few moments get accustomed to the UI after a couple of days of break from it. Please give me suggestions on how to make the current layout better. Give it a little time maybe it will grow on you. I also plan to add presets, so it will save panel states between shutdowns. Generally I feel the new UI shows more imprortant information and takes less screen space. Criticism is welcome.
