Welcome to the Ashes Blog
Hey, all! Been a wild week as we got into the App Store and discovered two big bugs, one causing an instant crash (which was easy to reproduce 100% of the time) and one that affected a small amount of users, but caused Ashes to stop syncing without a complete database. These two, of course, made for a few angry emails and a lot of people notifying us of these preventing them from using Ashes at all.
We have responded to over 100 emails and tweets, trying to address each and every one of you individually. Obviously, we care about your user experience and hate that these two big bugs were not caught in our beta testing. Within the next week, hopefully, we'll see the 1.0.1 update in the Store to fix these bugs, among other minor improvements. This is our fault, and we are working to rectify this as soon as humanly possible.
As for moving forward, there are quite a few items on our plate:
- Twitter & Delicious — We are looking forward to being able to share articles with social media integration!
- Speeding Up the Sync — A new version of Fever° is coming that will allow us to speed up sync dramatically!
- Performance — Some of you have 60,000+ items in your database, and we are looking to make Ashes perform better and better with large data sets.
- iPhone — This is a big one, of course, but the iPhone in our pockets is begging for a better Fever° experience, and we are totally working on that!
