So as most of you probably know, a lot of what I do here is programming related, making tools for users to purchase or use for free. You may also have noticed that I don't release programs very often.
I am very picky when it comes to code, I like to use professional standards and clean code where possible. Not only that but I like my UIs to be clean, efficient and convenient. I take pride in the stuff I make and feel as if it represents m ability and our family so I don't like to release something unless I feel it meets my quality standards. I also only like to create things that offer a lot of features. These simple facts about me often delay programs for long periods of time or keep them stored away never to be released here.
So...I'm curious..what is important to you guys? Please answer the following questions so I can get a better understanding of how to best serve this community we've built here.
1) Is the UI important to you?
When I design my UIs, I try to imagine 2 types of people using my program: Myself (someone who likes to quickly get things done without hassle but also likes well designed interfaces) and your average IMVU user who (no offense) isn't very bright when it comes to computers and fiddling with software.
So this leaves me with 2 problems to solve: How do I make the UI look well designed and function well but also easy to understand?
2) Are feature important to you?
Would you download/purchase a program that only did 1 simple thing? I like to try and give my users multitudes of options when it comes to using my program. For example...with the MPR, I provided 3 different ways of supplying input. I allow the user to manually type in data, I allow them to use a file open dialog and I allow them to drag and drop a file onto the program. I do this to make the program convenient for the end user so they are happy when using my program and not frustrated.
3) Speed or quality?
Would you rather I make more programs and fix bugs later when/if they are found or wait till the program is as bug free as I can make it before giving it to you guys?
4) What would you like to see?
After answering these questions, if you would like to suggest program ideas or something, feel free. However, do not make requests for hacking tools. I do not help people break into accounts, steal credits or get RL info.

. nahh but really its up to you. if you really dont feel like you completed that project. but also updates & features can be made. in the future. if u want to push something out early for everyone to enjoy. 
so can u say that programe u made to download music from IMVU products. without the feature u didnt finish. could it still be usefull? in anyway. if yes. then i think u shud release. as it is u can always go back to work on it whenever if ever.
