v1.1?
Great update for one of my all time favorite music programs!
You can't imagine how many times I've wanted to be able to cut'n'paste from this application.
Can I vote for it again?
(I see the KVR page says it's open source. Haven't noticed that before. Is it true?)

Some guys gave me a lot of ideas for Inspiration, so I decided to add a few "easy to add" features 
Anyway, it is not really open source (a typo from me maybe), but there is nothing fancy going on there, so I may make it open source if there are people asking. I can also add new features if someone is interested

I send stuff occasionally to people I know use Inspiration - mostly not musicians, but pretty much anyone I show it to wants a copy!
I thought, maybe, a simple - distributable (work out the licensing!) - version I could mail people, with pre-loaded 'advice' (not that what I send is really advice...)
If it were 'simply' (I know! I know!!) a matter of commenting-out a bunch of stuff, I might have thought of giving it a go myself ... 's'all ...

I see what you mean. Well, if you put in the data folder only the sets you want, it may be more or less the same thing ? Or maybe what you want with it is just an installer ?

No - pretty much what you said ...
... just an old habit I have of taking licences seriously, and not distributing other people's software (including freeware) - I don't even deep-link, just point people at the dev's download page.
People I know use Inspiration, don't have a problem dropping a new set into their data folder and viewing it. And I don't think I know anyone quite dumb enough to have problems using it.
But it would be nice if (other) people could just unzip a file and immediately start reading what I've sent them - most often a kind of nonsense 'greeting card' kind of thing ... (though the Blake 'Proverbs' set I linked in another post also earned me far more gratitude from the guy I sent it to than my own effort really warranted.)
And I really don't want you to simply say, 'that's fine - go ahead!'
Such a use has possible (and potentially valuable) commercial implications - as a marketing tool, for example.
Take another look at your licence: I think it's about right as it stands.
And don't rush into making it Open Source just on the strength of a typo!

Well, you have just given to me some new ideas 
I may develop other new features later

A friend's 5-year-old absolutely loves the nonsense rhymes of Edward Lear.
Maybe yours would too.
But remember - these come from the 1840s: you might want to scan / edit for suitability before sharing.

Thanks for the update! It's good to see that some DC entries actually gets updated post DC, a lot goes by the wayside unfortunately. Got my vote last DC and should have *atleast* won the wildcard/innovation prize IMHO!

This app is a blessing in those blocky moments, thanks for making it.
Looking at some Chrome browser extensions and found http://flashtabs.co/. It pops the next card each time you open a new tab in the browser... Now that's something I could use. It's a very basic slideshow reader, but nowhere as neat as yours, doesn't seem to do card sets and isn't as editable as yours I bet you cold make a better Chrome extension?

Please can you re-share?Syntilla wrote:Nonsense rhymes of Edward Lear.

Thanks, and sorry if I have been late answering your post, I don't go often in this area of the forumThis app is a blessing in those blocky moments, thanks for making it.
Well this little web application looks great, but unfortunately I don't develop on this platform. I did a javascript function some years ago, which displayed random quotes from a database in plain HTML, I wouldn't be able to do a lot more than that nowadaysLooking at some Chrome browser extensions and found http://flashtabs.co/. It pops the next card each time you open a new tab in the browser... Now that's something I could use. It's a very basic slideshow reader, but nowhere as neat as yours, doesn't seem to do card sets and isn't as editable as yours I bet you cold make a better Chrome extension?
Anyway, as I told before to some people, I have some future plans for this software, I might work again on it one day
