Also known as Milestone 2.0 in our internal discussions. We closed 51 tickets in our tracking system and dedicated five weeks to designing, implementing and deploying a lot of key-features. Most notable for our users are:
New identity and slick interface design
We teamed up with bright and talented Igor Kosyrev to create a completely different image of our project. Our logo, interface, twitter and blog already look brand new, however we will be additionally fine-tuning the interface during next several weeks.
Pocket integration
We replaced ‘Star’ button with a ‘Pocket’ button to store everything you want in your Pocket (ex Read It Later) account. Their app was made for it and it gives lots of organizing options.
Browser extensions
We created small Safari and Chrome browser extensions to notify you on new things to read.
Enhanced hotkeys and list view
Full list of hotkeys:
- 'j' and 'k' (space and shift + space) to navigate posts;
- 'o' opens the post in a new window;
- 's' to share a post;
- 'l' to mark it as liked.
Navigating through list view will open next post and close previous automatically.
We are concentrating on Bookmarklet, mobile versions, mass-editing features and everything we mentioned here for now.
Thank you and stay tuned.
