There is a bit of a grammar mistake in this application though…

“Help, my Dock’s gone!” should be “Help, my Dock is gone!”

Yeah, Paul… Mac apps have always had keyboard shortcuts. In fact, many OS X shortcuts are the same as System 1.0.

“Showing your age (lucky you). There was a time when no Mac software had keyboard shortcuts and everything was just point and click.”

@ Paul : Hmmm, I wonder when that was, but even in my dim childhood memories of MacPaint and MacWrite, there were keyboard shortcuts for most things.

“there are no keyboard shortcuts to switch between docks, and whoever heard of a Mac application without convent keyboard shortcuts?”

Showing your age (lucky you). There was a time when no Mac software had keyboard shortcuts and everything was just point and click.

@joshua: Totally agreed. The first thing I thought of when I read this (and because the author also suggested that a custom dock = custom workspace, which it doesn’t) was that this needs to be space-assignable, somehow. Really, the ideal solution would be to have this integrated in Spaces–but as pointed out in the article, this seems like it is probably a ways out as the dock itself seems to get reset with each new dock (which is why Spaces gets turned off, I think).

Hmm, it´s a awesome idea. It will be more interest if came with Spaces integration and the possibility to rename the dock’s. that’s it

What would be really great for a Dock add-on is one that could create difference Docks for different desktops in Spaces.

Seems to fall far short of the functionality already available in OverFlow, LaunchBar, and DockFun!

Not as much fun as Sapiens.

Screenshots from yourself or the developer would be much appreciated. There is no way I would install some modification like this without first seeing how it looks.

Also, if you expect people to pay $5 for your application at least make a half-decent website that doesn’t promote your host in the bottom and have some screenshots (like I already said). This application could be great and all, but I’m not going to dish my money out to a dev that can’t even be bothered to make the background of the repetitive and tacky “Buy Now” Paypal pictures match the background of the box they are in. The website looks like amateur hour. Once the guy gets some screenshots up, I might just download the app and try it out, because it’s a great idea. But much like any great idea, it also needs a great pitch.

This is like the Wright brothers building the first plane, testing it between themselves only, selling it to people with a single trial run in which potential buyers must get in the plane and be pushed over the cliff. Everybody who wants to buy it would rather see it work and not have to run it to find out if it works or not. Same principal applies here.
