The power of negative suggestion
I was on a call a few weeks ago with a Hannover design partner and we were discussing the feed reader in Hannover (now known as Notes 8).
He shall remain nameless (unless he wants to identify himself), but his comments in as direct a quote as I can remember were: "It's not that I don't like the feed reader in Hannover, it's that I hate it". His beef was although it works nicely to read the web pages for the feeds when you are on-line, there was no decent off-line story. That is, you could not read the summaries of each feed entry when off-line. Not too cool in the Notes universe.
Well, the power of negative suggestion sometimes accomplishes things. A statement like "It's not that I don't like X, it's that I hate it" reverberates somewhat.
So, here's a screenshot, fresh from this morning's Notes 8 daily build. Now you can find something else to pick on....
