thanks for your clarification regarding the API, Nicolas. It is answer my question too. I’m starting to like this app. Thanks for sharing, Nico

Thanks.

I’ll be using it then, very nice … what stunned by was how an application like this could fit in a 940KB file.

Niray and Bob;
It’s a client side API, so all request are send directly to the Google Analytics server. There’s no proxy or anything like that.
The app has also been tested by engineers from Google Analytics and I assure you they wouldn’t let me continue with this if it was not secure.

cheers
Nico

An important question, has anybody checked to make sure this is secure? Its not sending our Google account details back to a non-Google server?

#5 - Jim: They’re coming; sorry for the wait (we’ve been dealing with unforeseen technical issues)

#6 - Don: 15″ MacBook Pro. I haven’t written anything about it, but so far I have been very happy with the purchase. 10x better than my old Dell.

This app is awesome!
Only if Google had real time stats.

I would agree if someone wrote for clicky APIs. Their service is far better than Ganalytics.

All Apple compatable software is beta and buggy!
I am sooooo dissapointed in some of you guys. Didn’t you get the policy note about not mentioning it if you have a Mac, and, if you do only complain!
Thinking of ripping ADs from TC!

“…….greater usability and a richer experience. ”

kidding me? I failed to see where the greater usability and richer experience in the program as of yet. sounds like advertising to me. I do see more potential at a later stage, but I found the online version of the analytics more easily to use at this stage.

if you want to be begging adobe for upgrades and bug fixes three years from now, keep using AIR

there is a reason we code open source to open standards children

you would think a decade of being raped by windows bugs and pointless osx updates you would have figured out why closed proprietary platforms are bad…

I assume you have to give up your Google Account information to use it? If it’s using a “custom API”, I’d be wary of giving up that information to a third party, as nice as the app may be.

Reinvigorate too has a very nice real-time web statistics desktop client.

I hope he can develop one for clicky (www.getclicky.com)

They have an actual API, and great data…

I live new york…. How to Fresh clean the air?

If I use AXE Effect Deodorant Body spray on people… They would give very attractive squirrels and pigeons to like them. How do you make clean air?

Any GPL tools?

I knew this sort of thing is coming. GoogleA is already such a killer app already, but this is the sort of thing which can start adding sufficient utility to the platform and make it something I can further my independence from Windows on. That is, once they come out with an AIR runtime for Linux.

See, I have not been motivated at all to check out much with AIR so far, as all I keep seeing is half-thought-out Digg widgets and more things that can tell me what the weather is. I’m in L.A, and I know what the weather will be 365 days in advance, so that doesn’t help. But something that can help me get my job done, then — well — then that starts making this a pervasive platform.

This tool looks good. But I think we have to wait something more stable.

Does Adobe AIR support Linux?

Adobe AIR 1.0 will not be available on Linux. We plan to release Linux support shortly after the 1.0. release.

While we had originally planned to support Linux in the 1.0 timeframe, we have had to wait on the core Flash Player’s support for Linux to be finalized.

The world’s worst air is my hometown New York City…. Groundzero, central park, horse dumping in street,

All cultures(blacks,whites, Asians, and almost everyone) have strange odors

– Washington height where you smell horrible mexican or spanish armpit,
– Middle village where you smell hindu body ordor
– Jackson Heights where you smell Hispanic cockroach breath,
– Soho where you smell Caucasian garlic, socks, and feet.
– Upper midtown where you smell gay with semen ordor.
– Chinatown where you smell dumped chinese food.
– Harlem where you smell drug addict and can’t cook food.
– KKK private town where you smell horse anus and asbestos body.

New York Air is terrible…. If you don’ t think so. Please visit New York and smell whatever you want. Don’t forget to smell Staten island waste land, upper new york bay where boats dump garbage, all over the places.
