What's in the Works?

Posted by FoodProof on 4-14-08 in The Official FoodProof Blog with 4 Tiny
Hi guys! Been two weeks since we went beta and things are going well. We've been watching how everyone's using the site, listening to your suggestions, and thinking about what sorts of features we really need. We're excited to say that we've got a few new things on deck for the near future.

Here's a quick list of the stuff we're going to launch soon:

  • A better rich-text editor. The current one is super weird and flaky. The new one is way better.
  • Forums! We could really use a sort of homebase during beta, and beyond. Forums will be simple messageboards that we hope will make it easier to get conversations started.
  • Watchlists. These let you keep up with users you like, by giving you notifications when they add new stuff
  • Private messaging. We'd like to be able to talk to one another directly sometimes. This feature just makes sense
  • Groups. We figure we'll want to start meeting up with each other at some point soon. Groups will let us organize our friends and calendars and content around locale and interests. They'll be super useful!
  • Image uploading via URL. Tired of saving photos from the web to upload into the site? Soon you'll be able to paste a web address straight into the upload box
  • A more interesting homepage! Right now it's nice but sort of empty. We gotta use that space better. It's going to happen.

Thanks for all of your help and attention these last two weeks. We're at about 200 users already, and we're preparing for the next wave of new folks. Let us know if you'd like more invites!

Talk to you soon.
