This is an EXTREMELY promising application for those of us not ready to upgrade our devices for WP7 devices (I love my HD2). IMO, this is far superior to HTC Sense (although I do miss a few minor features like weather) for daily use.
That being said, here are a few suggestions I have for future builds (I am also a Software Developer so if there's any way that I can be of assistance, I'd be more than happy to help):
1) Add a way to link to folders from the Tiles screen. For example, I'd love to make a tile that I could link to my Games folder from the start menu. It should open it in a screen that looks much like the shortcuts or programs screen you already have.
2) Add a way to have your own calendar or theme the internal calendar so that it can use same styling as the tiles/programs list.
3) Add a way to have your own contacts viewer or theme the internal contacts list to use the same styling as the tiles/programs list.
4) Link the clock tile to the alarms list.
5) Add a seconds hand to the clock tile.
6) Add a weather info tile.
7) Pull in thumbnails from the last picture sync to use as the icon overlay for the Pictures tile.
8) Add a icon overlay to select for use with a Twitter tile and a GPS/Google Maps tile.
9) Pull in thumbnails from the contacts list to use as the icon overlay for the People tile.
10) Add an option to select which email account the email tile should link to.
11) Add an option to sort the programs list alphabetically, by most recently installed/modified, or manually sorting.
12) Add nicer looking hands to the clock tile.
13) Show notification icons along the top toolbar area.
14) When using option to remove the icons along the bottom (back, start menu, and search), stretch the screen bigger to fill the gap that is created.
15) Show larger thumbnails for pictures when clicking on the Pictures tile.
16) Add ability to select multiple folders to index for the Pictures list.
17) Add option to have the start menu button (at bottom of screen and hardware button) link to your Programs list or Shortcut list instead.
18) Add option to change the start menu button on the bottom to link to Windows Settings instead and add an entry under Windows Settings to edit the Host UI options.
19) On Search screen, add option to link Bing search to the Bing application if it is installed.
20) Change back button on bottom to shows a lock icon instead of back arrow when on the main home screen since from there it is to lock the device instead.
