Lijst goes beta: first steps in the real world
We’re excited! Yesterday, we put our app online: http://beta.lijst.com/
Feel free to try it out. Please let us know what you think…
Development screenshots
We’re getting close to a usable application! We’ll follow the release early and often dogma. We’re also aware of the importance of the first impression. So, no release without thorough testing of usablity and functionality.
To meet the interested half way, here are four screenshots of our running development version.

An excellent example: SugarStats
Last saturday, at the Health2.0 unconference in Amsterdam, I met Marston Alfred, founder of SugarStats. His story is an excellent example of positive results of monitoring yourself.
Marston has diabetes. Over a year ago, he started to digitally administer sugar, food and medication intake, as well as his physical activities. Since no online tool existed, he built his own. That personal project grew into a successful company.
CC: Khürt
By keeping track of his behavior and its effects on his health indicators, he lowered his HbA1C score by 3 percentage points over 1 year. This lowers the risk of complications caused by diabetes with almost 80%. His story tells of regained eye sight and “not feeling lethargic”.
SugarStats is an inspirational example for lijst.com. We have no niche in mind to cater and are looking forward to see what users will choose to monitor.
Lijst.com at The Next Web 2008
It’s hip, it’s innovative, it’s humming: The Next Web 2008 conference in Amsterdam, April 3rd and 4th. I’m attending and really looking forward to it.
Hope to meet many interesting, enthusiastic people and to come back with fresh ideas. Business cards are in. What more do I need?
We’re not a startup! ;)
Lijst is something I’ve had on my mind for years. The concept evolved. Today I think it is mature enough to be announced: lijst.com
Feedback is highly appreciated.
