Getting started

1. Open it

Use a Chromium-based browser, Chrome or Edge; other browsers are not verified. Open slipcurve-shell.html from the folder. On Windows, Slipcurve.vbs opens the same page as an app window with its own browser profile, and Create Desktop Shortcut.bat puts a shortcut on the Desktop. Windows may warn that the scripts are not signed; each one only opens the local file.

2. Bring in a project

With no project loaded the home screen shows a Start panel with two choices. Import a schedule reads a Microsoft Project file (.xml, MSPDI) or a Primavera P6 file (.xer); the same page can start from nothing with a name, a start date, a working week and a currency. Load save data opens a workspace somebody saved as a .mcsave file.

3. Keep it

The workspace lives in the browser's storage on this computer and is written as you work. Save Data exports all of it as one .mcsave file, which is your backup and the way to move a project to another machine; Wipe on the same page removes everything from the browser.

4. Switch networking on when you want live data

Opened from disk, the software makes no network request until you switch networking on in Settings. The privacy notice lists every provider and what it receives. Commercial use is the default; free tiers for non-commercial use refuse by name until a paid key is set, and the map pages draw on empty ground until a licensed basemap template is entered. A contact address entered in Settings is sent to providers whose policy asks callers to identify themselves.

5. Accounts, if you want them

Open workspace in the top bar creates accounts. They separate people and record who did what; they do not encrypt the records, and the software says so on the account page.

6. Help on the page

Every page carries an i button beside its controls. It opens the explanation for that control where you are, so the page itself stays clear.

7. Getting the software
