How you can achieve the same result with views?

I haven't tried this module, so there could be something I don't know. In Views all you need to do is this:

1. Add view
2. Provide block
3. View type - List view
4. Add field - Node: title
5. Add filter - Node: Author is Current User
6. Done

You can add any other filters you want, such as Node: published to only show published nodes, or Node: type to only show nodes of a certain type.

Yup, you can do essentially the same thing as my module with Views that way. I provided this module for those that don't want / need the Views module, plus I have features I want to implement in future versions that would be quite tricky to setup in Views (but could probably still be done). Personally, I like to keep any administrative related content out of my views, leaving only content views....but that's just me. I've worked on alot of simple sites that didn't require Views, but it's still nice to have some small, administrative helper modules.

This is just a simple, fast way to achieve a specific functionality. Future versions are going to have ajax pagination, tabs for switching between nodes and files, and filters for content types / file types. But, overall, I'm gonna keep this small and simple. It should do one thing, and do that one thing well.

Thanks for the answer, I brought it up because there was no mention of Views on the project page.
