Mobile Stats Web Application (MSWA)

After having an iPhone only stats application for a while, we decided to create an universal stats application that can be used on iOS, Android, Blackberry…basically any mobile device with a browser.

You can find it here: http://whatpulse.org/mobilestats/

Most platforms can put web apps on the home screen, so you can create a shortcut. There are plans to extend this application to sense different screen sizes (phones vs. tablets), to display more information on devices which have bigger screens.

Get it at the downloads section.

Windows 7 has issues with version 1.6 and below, it is possible for WhatPulse to suddenly stop counting. (usually under high load of the computer). We’re glad to say that these problems have been solved in 1.7 and recommend everyone using Windows 7 to upgrade.

Windows 7 support is not the only change, here’s a small list:

– New communication protocol

WhatPulse now communicates with the website over HTTP, which means a lot less hassle to get it working from a secured network. (proxies understand the pulses)

– Portable mode

There is now a portable mode setting available in the preferences window. Enabling this will allow WhatPulse to run from a USB disk or other portable media. This makes it easy to take WhatPulse with you.

– Key Frequencies image generator.

It is now possible to send your key frequencies to the website and have it create an image out of it. An example can be found here: http://bit.ly/cXF7dL. The images will be presented on the website better in the near future.

– Others

There’s a new setup wizard.

Several bugfixes with large distance increases seen when using RDP.

Several other bugfixes: http://bit.ly/bDh7Dz

– Keyboard diagram visualizing usage frequencies of keys

– Completely reworked Setup dialog: You can now choose from your existing computers, create a new computer, or create a new user account the first time WhatPulse starts up

– Added option to log out of the current account

– Switched to new HTTP-based server communication

– Support HTTP proxies for server communication

– ”Daemon mode”: in the group ”[Settings]”, add an entry ”DaemonMode=true” (without the quotes) to ~/.config/whatpulse/settings.conf to start WhatPulse without a tray icon

– The GeekWindow doesn’t have a taskbar entry any longer

– Reworked access to mouse and keyboard events, should now work with bluetooth mice and possibly other exotic hardware (Lacking any of the hardware in question, I can’t test this myself. Please report any problems you encounter.)
