I’ve been thinking about Leaflets a lot, but with the huge gains in the App Store model I fear it is losing its relevance as a product. Leaflets is long overdue for an update, but once it is done, would anyone come? We have several ideas to build on what we learned from the first release and take it to the next level. But the challenge isn’t updating it and making it better, the challenge is getting it out there with some sort of market relevance that will attract users.

I’ve been playing around with a few new metaphors of interaction and experimenting with making the content we made available in the first release more contextually relevant. I’ve also been playing around with making it both a web app and a native app and trying to find the right technological mix to pull it off but give both modes of users something beneficial.

I expect that I will make my verdict on Leaflets within the next month or so based on some research, some prototyping and what market conditions present themselves.
