oscWatcher - Instant order notifications straight to your desktop

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Recently, I have been developing an application called oscWatcher.

Although it is not ready to be released just yet, I wanted to tell you a bit about what it does.

oscWatcher 2 has now been released.

Download it here.

oscWatcher runs in your Windows system tray (or mac dock) and alerts you whenever an order is received by your osCommerce store. Within the application you can see what has been ordered, who by and how much it is worth.

The neat thing about oscWatcher is that you don’t need to keep refreshing your browser to check for orders. In fact, your browser doesn’t even need to be open!

Leapfrog - A Realtime Visitor Tracking Contribution

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

The ability to watch what your store visitors are doing is very important.

So much so that I included a user tracking contribution in a recent article. But understanding the ebb and flow of visitors is difficult because the data is always presented in a very dry format. Plus you have to keep refreshing the page to see if anything has happened recently.

I decided that what osCommerce really needed was a dynamic, realtime, funky visitor tracking contribution.

So I built one. Its called Leapfrog and it’s quite addictive to watch!

Download it for your site, have a play and let me know what you think.
