Lots of progress, beta continues
Minuteglass is in private beta at the moment, and our team is rapidly making progress towards a full public launch in 2010.
In software development there is this concept of a minimum viable product. We’re there, but we’ve decided to tweak some features before we expand our beta further. Our initial set of beta testers have given us a lot of great feedback and we are grateful for their support.
Some of the feedback we’ve received:
- People have had problems with our CSV exports, and we’re addressing these problems (they’ll be fixed with our next deployment).
- People want better reports, including multi-day reports… this is in the works!
- Minor confusion about our upgrade process and how the categories work. We are working on improvements that should help ease the learning curve.
More progress:
- Our promotional web site is all designed and will be ready to be rolled live as soon as we expand our beta.
- Our API is mostly complete and will be released in early 2010.
- We’ve been working on our desktop widget and it is about 50% complete. It is being build using Adobe AIR, and will be released on multiple platforms.
- Inline editing on previously recorded time entries is in the works.
- A number of bug fixes and minor visual improvements will be deployed soon.
BIG THANK YOU to our beta testers who have and continue to send us feedback, it is much appreciated.
