totally legendary web applications

Ooh, I’m a fan of the slidey goodness of Scriptaculous effects and such - tastefully used, of course. Pulse has plenty of it, and oh so much more. A new cash flow management tool, Pulse provides a means for small businesses to track their cash flow. To sum up the total functionality of Pulse in that 1 sentance however, would be understating it in a grand way. Pulse allows you to pull you client list and details straight from Basecamp, as well as set the probabilities of expected payments - great for estimating your monthly income when you’re unsure of whether a payment is going to come through or not.

Because Pulse lets you categorize your income and expenses, your cash flow has never been so organized. Quickly pull in all your companies and projects from the popular project management web software Basecamp and Pulse will automatically organize your projects based upon company. The main cash flow page lets you view your income and expenses over an 8 month time period. Scroll through past and future months with just a click of a button.

Designed by Clear Function, Pulse is a great tool that I’ve had a lot of fun using in the last few weeks. One of the things that I’ve suggested to the guys behind the scenes, is the ability to add recurring payments on an annual basis (currently only allows for monthly). This, I think, would be a great tool for tracking hosting payments etc - another feature that could be added to this great list of elements in Pulse.

Overall, a slickly designed application that makes practical use of Ajax and JS effect libraries. A few to-do’s on their list, but no reason not to begin using them immediately!
