The recent Ninite improvements have been under-the-hood

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:10:19 -0800

Ninite has gotten much better lately, but that fact hasn’t been obvious from the posts on this blog. Let’s correct that.

The biggest update has been properly internationalizing all apps that support it. People all around the globe use Ninite and we’re proud to give everyone a first-class experience. If an app has a version for your PC’s language, that’s the one we install. This is similar to our automatic support for 64-bit apps on 64-bit Windows.

Another improvement has been reducing the startup time of Ninite installers. Ninite is now faster than ever at getting your apps installed so you can get on with your life.

Finally, we’re going to start using this blog to share new features, tips, and use cases of Ninite. The past few posts have been about new apps added to Ninite, but just posting those announcements would make for a boring blog because Ninite isn’t about adding every app out there.

Ninite users have spoken and they really like our curated catalog of great Windows apps. While our selection will expand, we’re setting a high bar for inclusion.

It shouldn’t be possible to end up with a bad, or even mediocre experience after using Ninite. We’re about making your PC great.

As always, thanks for using Ninite!

It's no wonder they don't trust us

It's no wonder they don't trust us:

Seth Godin does a fantastic job articulating the problems with PC software these days. In many ways this is a great summary of our motivation for creating Ninite.

The shattered expectations he describes are behind so much of the “This is too good to be true,” or “What’s the catch?” feedback we receive. PC software shouldn’t be like a “sleazy carnival,” and we’re working hard to fix that.
