Friends,
We are set to break one thousand users in our first three days… with out ANY promotions! Don’t panic it’s organic…. organic growth, that is. Thank you all for the hangs!
More importantly, Ben and I would like to thank each of you all who gave us feedback… we’re working on a bunch of new stuff:
- Security: Oauth has been rolled out to all apps, and we will implement ASAP
- Private hangs: we will close a hang’s meta data and response form to your followers (or people you are following?) I’m inclined to say followers just so that if you have a locked twitter account, your followers are people you have approved.
- Mapping preview: If you mistype an address, you’ll want to see it before a hang is finalized.
- Owner can respond more than once! So, if you tweet a hang automatically, we have been assuming that you are attending your hang, that’s why owners default to “Yes!”. However, the response box is a good place to add extra info, so owners should be able to add bit.ly-esque urls here.
- Addison has offered to help us fix the design issues, and we’re going to make a non-JS non-graphic intensive version for our iPhones and other mobile devices.
Those are the top 5! We have a loooooong list of more fun stuff we want to implement. If you have any ideas… tweet them with hash tag: #hangin or e-mail us @ contact@imhang.in.
Happy Friday,
Phillip
I would like to thank Diamond Dave (of Pirate Cat Radio) for the line “Don’t Panic It’s Organic”

#6 is definitely exporting your hang meta data in iCal/XML formats so that you can easily import YOUR data to whatever YOU want. We are 100% open source and open data here at imhang.in.

How about a time? If you really want to organize something with your friends let’s say on Friday, a time would sure be helpful!
Just saying Friday doesn’t give people enough info to decided if they could join.

Hi Loredana,
We are working on rolling out the date and time feature as I type this. Do you have any other comments or suggestions?
Thanks,
Ben

Alright. A roadmap suggestion?
Let’s say it’s Saturday afternoon (it is) and coming from the pool I just realized it would have been a great hang to post. So I’m deciding to be more preemptive and come up with a few hangs for next week. I don’t wanna twitter each one in an interval of 5 minutes (that’s straight up twitterhea). What do I do?
(This in my head calls for a public hang calendar for each user, and I think could turn out to be amazing)
