Nice, certainly. And the guys have played a bit with the "technologies".

I struggled with the folding for quite a moment, my 3D imagination is very poor (I would really like to know how others have coped with this).

I have a couple of remarks, though. I know this is not the right place to post them, but it's far easier than to tell to these guys - and who knows, maybe this will help them, too...

  • the very first thing I expected was, that the pages can be filled out before printing as a form (for example the title page - it's quite hard to write into the tiny lines by hand)
    • of course the calendar-related items should be customisable for given dates/weeks etc.
    • of course I would like to save the "design" then for later use and modifications and perhaps sharing
    • I expected these features from the standalone version, but that is basically the same as the online version (it took me some time to find out where did the self-unzipper put the files - it closed too quickly and left no hint)
    • there is some hint about customizability in the standalone version, but that's rather cryptic and quite beyond my reach

  • I could imagine several versions of the "contacts" page - two contacts per page is way too little
  • my copy had different page width at the different pages, so the folding did not work out quite perfectly, some of the pages "hang out" from the "book"
  • the folding does not "hold", a drop of glue fixes that - the authors could at least mention it
  • I don't quite like the idea of "wasting" "half" of the paper - I know the guys are going to push the idea of this peculiar folding, but what about having a version for an oldfashioned booklet?

PS. One thing is sure, I _will_ show it to my wife! :-)

PS2. Are patents in the US so dirt cheap, or how are these guys going to get back the money?
