The Websites I like to visit I know by heart and if I am looking for some new, Google bring me to the site where I can find the information I am looking for. When I find a really interesting website I want to keep, I drag the url on the desktop for later use, not more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">But why to write a bookmark manager application if I have never used one at my own ?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">When we have decided 2007 to settle down in <a title=\"Mauritius\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.mu\" target=\"_blank\">Mauritius<\/a> ( we are from good (c)old \u00a0Germany ) and we have planned to set up Celmaro we needed to get an overview on the Mac software market, software development, and to know if it is possible to live from.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 19px; font: normal normal normal 13px\/normal Georgia; text-align: center;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-256\" title=\"Mauritius\" src=\"http:\/\/celmaro.com\/bl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Mauritius4.png\" alt=\"Mauritius\" width=\"449\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Mauritius4.png 449w, https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Mauritius4-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">We needed a simple project to learn about the whole process of developing an application starting from the idea to a finished product which include also update and registration\u00a0capabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">So what is simpler as a bookmark manager, you need only two fields, name and url and if you make it some better you add a note field and allow tagging, that&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">But this would not have satisfied us at all. We don&#8217;t like to copy existing products and this would not have helped us to get an idea if we will get some income by selling software.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">The need to research the web for existing software companies to get inspired from their websites brought us to the idea to start with Webbla.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">The outline application we have used to collect the websites which inspired us in whole or part was too confusing, to find back a website too difficult.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">What we needed was a tool to keep phenomenal websites, add some\u00a0 comments, organize them and find them back by looking on the thumbnails.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">Webbla was born.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">Even that we have subtitle Webbla as a visual bookmark manager the main idea was to capture and organize information in context with websites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">Webbla helped us a lot to understand developing applications on Mac OS X and the business of software. We have passed exiting moments when we have released our first versions\u00a0and when we have read what other people think on our product in the web or in magazines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">Moments we would not like to miss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">Future applications will be more close to our daily work. Our next application we have planned to\u00a0release in some days will be a time tracking software that we are internally using since long to track the time we spend on different tasks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;\">Marc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maybe some people who visit our website may ask why we have written a bookmark manager for Mac OS X and not a more innovative, really cool app for the Mac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celmaro","category-mauritius","category-webbla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=241"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":246,"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions\/246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celmaro.com\/bl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
