WarrantyTrack launched

Saturday, June 4th, 2011

It brings me joy to finally make the WarrantyTrack software public. I hope this project turns out to be the most leading open source project of its kind.

I’ve hosted this project on sourceforge and it is ‘GNU GPL’ed. Here’s an introductory video to the software. Please look forward to more news on this product.

You are encouraged to try it and send me your feedback so that we may make this a better project.

The WarrantyTrack project has a fantastic roadmap and I hope to reveal this soon.

Enjoy!
