Here's a feature I always wanted in help, the ability to add comments, notes, hyperlinks, FAQ. Many times, hitting F1 in an app brings me to the right context, but the information I'm “looking for” is in another subject/help chapter. And, in many occasions, I have to spend 15 minutes figuring out where that information is. Adding the help page in the Favorites is nice if you don't forget to bring thoses Favorites to your other job :) SyncIt now takes care of this Favorites synchronization...

hey there... Ever since "home automation" became popular, I found that the "automation's" use made me laugh. Starting the coffee in the morning, starting the shower for me... I'm not a robot. I get up when the kids wake me up. I get my coffee fresh, once at work. Automatic coffee machine, now that's funny. Ho, and your coffee is freshly brewed every morning? The filter is changed? Water is filled up? Container is cleaned. Wow, now that's automation. At work, we use an Avalon Quad. Fresh everytime!...
