Right now, it feels visually cluttered and slow. The icon view for listings, for example, looks like a soup of app icons... the background pattern being textured, and app names being displayed in some kind of white blob. Just getting rid of the shelves should do it. You can't move the window by dragging the bottom bar, for some reason. The awning serves no purpose other than looking odd, and the window lags behind when you move it, which seems a bit cheap. Not every app needs to be Delicious Library — I'd like Bodega to be fast and elegant. Right now it's more of a UI experiment, it seems- I hope that didn't sound too harsh. Bodega works nicely overall, and I'm looking forward to improvements. :-) Bodega is nice, but it could be a lot nicer. Right now, it feels visually cluttered and slow.

It gets really annoying when I have to wait a day after forgetting to remove the Snow Leopard warning on my new submission. But to keep everything safe I think maybe every other submission should be checked. I know you guys will make it perfect. Good Luck, WFT I think the trust points thing is a great idea!

Regarding the App Store, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that a single person submitting 800 applications based on the same simple RSS reader code, is something that doesn't belong there. Hello,

I reallys like the interface the name and everything about it. Still... Need MORE apps! There are millions around there... Maybe you could separate the paid and the free apps. Like an advanced search. Well Done! P.S. Sorry for any mistake. english is not my language... Great interesting new idea!

Just wondering what development is currently being made... I know we're in beta effectively, but some further blog entry/discussion would be great. My two cents also, back arrows at bottom of window are in an unfriendly counter-intuitive position. Keep adding those apps though! Love it.... Also - I thought I read there will be a discount/offers page? Is that happening? Thanks. I like the software and it’s functionality.
