Shadow exits beta and gets a new name!

Launching tomorrow on MacZOT.com, Shadow goes on full release under it's new name "Stuf"!

After something like 17 beta releases, and incorporating many user requested features and ideas, we decided it was time to put Stuf out on the open market. We felt it was the right time to release as we felt that Stuf is now strong enough to face a much wider market, and the very different concerns and needs that each of these many users may have. Stuf will still get constant development, as is the policy of The Escapers and will take pride of place as the second ever product from us at The Escapers.

Why did we change the name? Well, the first reason is that there is already an application on the Mac called "shadowClipboard" and we simply felt that it was unfair and wrong to keep calling our app Shadow, particularly as they serve fairly similar purposes.

The second reason, was that the name "Shadow" was meant to portray the idea of a "shadow" clipboard on different computers, but as time went on, we found that most users were not using the network capability much, but more as a general repository of text, pictures etc. so we tried to think of a name which would represent this better. We came up with "Stuf" and I hope you like it and consider it an improvement!

So, what's next from The Escapers? Well, right now, we're going not going to think about any new apps, and focus on Flux and Stuf, we're going to be adding many features and improvments to both and I hope you'll notice these in upgrades to come.

All the best!
