Hi Daniel,

welcome to the forum and many thanks for your prompt reply and for the link! Good to see there is also a hierarchical list view. And congrats to what looks like a very innovative software.

Nevertheless, if you don’t mind me saying so, those “luggage labels” seem to be taking up a fair bit of screen real estate (when compared to let’s say what they’d look in Nvivo, e.g. http://drandus.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/nvivo_codes.png ). Also, at first sight I missed that the list was indented, as the indentation is rather slight.

It looks like the design favours touch screens? Personally I prefer to use a desktop PC with keyboard and mouse when working with large data sets with hundred plus codes, and in those situations I find that the more of a list is visible on the screen, the better.

Anyway, these are just my first impressions, and only from looking at the videos. I will take it on a test ride when I have a bit more time.

Best wishes with the venture!
