I mean a hud is obv crucial, but if there is a temp solution that some third party coded - so be it for now. What it comes to now, its not just a beta test its an actual war for the market since many people who were frantically waiting for pt3 to arrive, will now jump ships to manger if support for their sites does not come out very soon. Why wait weeks and weeks and loose money if you can pay a fraction of a BI and get something working right away right now. And then it may be a problem trying to get them back - some would not want to spend more money, some would be too lazy or happy as they are.
Its probably well understood and known, the main reason people want a tracking software is not for all the statistics and tracking faetures, but for the hud. And given the circumstances, I rather have a relatively ****ty hud and maybe not so stable software but the one that supports my site than some better piece of software that I can load my DB into, but has no hud nor support for my site. I'd be willing to put up with difficulties as long as I can start using it now in real time.
The primary reason for working on the HUD before too many sites are added is because the interface that plugs the site code to the framework needs to change a bit to support the HUD. Changing the interface to 3 sites is a lot less work, not to mention a lot less error prone, than changing the interface to a dozen sites. It's also easier to test the interface of 3 sites than a dozen. So waiting until after the HUD is complete will mean more stable code and less changes that need testing.
Once that interface is complete, adding new sites to both the HUD and the Tracker is a simple and relatively quick matter. If I have enough hand histories, I can support a new site in a few days.
We will be requesting hand histories for all the sites. So save up your hand histories, find your archived histories and export from your PT2 database in preparation.
