WebnoteHappy 1.3.0b8 - DEVONagent support
I just built and released WebnoteHappy 1.3.0 beta 8. I added support for DEVONagent for all you DEVONfans out there. Thanks to Eric of DEVONtechnologies for helping out.
Also, I promoted Command-E to be Edit Webnote, and demoted Edit > Find > Use Selection for Find to Command-Shift-E.
I’m curious - what do people think of the public beta process? That is, versus completely a private beta, or private betas for 80% and public betas at the end, or even a completely beta-less app that springs forth from the head of its creators? I personally like betas, but then again I love new technology when I can get my hands on it.

I like very much the model that follows Textmate with its bleeding edge betas: not too much or too little updates (from once a week to once a month), and 4 or 5 new features and bug squashes with every release.
Using the Sparkle framework also helps, I feel nice when I restart Textmate (or any other app which uses Sparkle) and says “new update available!” and does its thing automatically :)

I enjoy using software that has a public beta process, not only for access to new features and fixes but also as an indicator of the health and future of the product.

I also agree with the point Robert makes: making frequent updates is an indicator of your product’s health.

ditto with oscar.
Application menu can be a little clutterless. “Buy…” and “Register…” can be one line.
And, “Check for updates”? Most people seem to use “check at startup”. Or, making it under Help would be another idea.
