New Features for April

Filed under: Announcements — phillip @ 2:46 pm

Friends,

We’ve been slowly working towards a second release… and it’s here. While we haven’t knocked out *all* of the features we wanted, we feel like the service is becoming a lot easier to use and a lot more secure.

What’s here:

1. OAuth - You securely “add” the app to your twitter account, and you  never need to fumble precious passwords. This is a lot more secure, and only adds two simple mouse clicks to the hang creation flow. This is the most important change. We will eventually open-source our oauth implementation… there’s some good abstraction in there.

2. Setting a time (as well as a date) - Choose “some other time” and there’s a drop down to select exactly what time you’d like to meet up.

3. Owners can add an unlimited number of comments - Did you forget something? Do you want to add some extra data or a link to your hang? Now you can.

There are a bunch of other minor details. Please respond here or e-mail us if you have any trouble with oauth. We left the traditional login in the system because twitter’s oauth implementation seems slightly buggy. We’re going to try to iterate a bit faster. Also, we know about the front-end issues in IE. These will be fixed ASAP.

Thanks!

Phillip
