A couple of weeks ago I quietly added a basic article publishing feature that probably would be classified as an alpha. After watching a handful of users interact with it I’ve made some changes and today I am releasing an updated version that I think is safe to call a beta. You can reach the publisher under your account page. Let me know what you think.
I’m closing the poll since the results have been pretty stable ever since the first few days.
Here are the final tallies:
Changes will be coming and thanks to everyone who voted! Stay tuned for updates on FeedAgg’s development road map. If you are interested in beta testing new features, please let me know.
One of the primary goals of FeedAgg is to rate feeds and provide new feed discovery to its users. To that end, today you may have noticed we added a small Related Feeds section to feed displays to facilitate the finding of new feeds that may interest you. We are extremely excited about this since it goes a long way in achieving our primary mission. Additionally, the underlying technology behind this is also going to allow for more site enhancements in the future.
UPDATE: Had to remove it temporarily. Will be back after I fix a couple issues.
I figure with the changes coming to FeedAgg.com that it was time to improve the communication with our users.
As you know, we’ve had a poll running on what sort of improvements you would like to see on FeedAgg.com. I’ve been watching the polling and I’ve already started working on some underlying plumbing to enable those improvements. I pushed out the first of those changes yesterday and you should have noticed a site-wide improvement in page load times. Now that the underlying plumbing is in place I’m going to begin development on the bigger features and hope to have some of them up in the next few weeks.
In the mean time, keep an eye on this space and be sure to let me know if you have any suggestions!
