Introducing PageBlaze

[Bradles]

Hi all,

A new version of the PageBlaze app with pages read / page count has been released.

Remember, as noted above:

To update "Pages Read", click in the field first. Then update by typing a number, with keyboard arrow keys, or mouse-clicks on the "up/down" buttons.

This ensures that the database is updated when the field loses focus (i.e. clicking/tabbing out of the field).

Are you a late-night reader? Have you ever wondered how PageBlaze handles the transition through midnight? Wonder no more...

If you start reading late at night, and meet your daily target before midnight, PageBlaze will mark your target met for that day (the day you started reading):

If you continue reading in the wee small hours, and meet your daily target for the next day, naturally PageBlaze will mark your target met for that day too. It's almost like meeting two targets for the price of one!:

This also works if you close PageBlaze when you start reading and reopen it when you stop.

And it's another reminder of the importance of setting your time zone accurately in Settings .

The PageBlaze app now includes a new feature: Estimate to Complete (ETC). It estimates the time left to finish the "Currently reading" book, based on the time spent so far and the percentage complete:

The total time read is updated when you click "Stop Timer" (available as a tooltip on the ETC field) and ETC is responsive to changes in the percentage complete and pages read fields:

ETC appears in red if the percentage complete is less than 10%, as it would not be a very reliable estimate:

I've also made a couple of other small changes:

• the cover image for the "Currently reading" book is a bit larger;
• times use standard abbreviations and formats ("2m 20s" instead of "2 mins 20 secs").
