Started in .NET and now moved to Qt as client app platform and in PHP as web platform Owely became a good unordinary experience for me: team of three, agile, real, self-motivation.

Now it is cross-platform with the same functionality across different OSes. Current version is stable enough, but we already see what should be improved. So, hope you enjoy it, go to http://www.owely.com/download and replace ton of words with 1 screenshot. Plea
