We’re optimizing the JavaScript code that makes Spin Rewriter come to life inside your browser …
We’ve already made it 25-30% faster, but we’re not stopping there – I’m pretty certain that we’ll be rolling out a 40% overall faster version of Spin Rewriter in the next 4-5 business days.
Free of charge, of course. 😉

Oh, and thanks for promoting our services! 😀
Those of you who are using your Spin Rewriter subscription and our other services to the fullest, have undoubtedly noticed that we were experiencing some issues last week.
Our servers usually became much less responsive at 30 minutes within every hour (8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, etc.) and these periods of low responsiveness lasted for 3 to 9 minutes most of the time. There were also some sporadic time periods of connection issues, these usually happened towards the end of the hour (5:46 PM, 9:48 PM, etc.). We launched a thorough investigation as soon as our monitoring systems started reporting these issues, and we’ve been working practically non-stop for 50+ hours in order to resolve these issues.
I’m sad to say that the primary reason for these issues was an outside attack. We’re still tracking the attacker and will have more information shortly. This attack only caused additional load on our servers, so there’s nothing to worry about – we’re just sorry that you had to deal with these issues at all.
Here’s to doing honest business, and never having to deal with things like this again! 🙂
As part of our on-going efforts to make Spin Rewriter is robust as possible, we have introduced a couple of changes to the underlying algorithms and to the user interface. Our server load should be more consistent with less blocking when a random spike in traffic occurs, and users will give much more detailed reports about various issues that arise every now and then, along with suggestions about overcoming these issues.
Oh, and don’t get us wrong – Spin Rewriter is still working perfectly fine 99% of the time. 😉 We’re just committed to delivering the best possible product! 😀
We might be a bit late, but it comes from the heart. 😉
Unfortunately not all was great during these holidays – Spin Rewriter’s server grid had some issues, and we’re still working on them at the moment. We know what went wrong, so it’s basically just a matter of time until we resolve them – but we’ll need some more time. Supposedly everything’s going to be 100% OK on Wednesday at 4 AM EST, or so.
Stay tuned! 😉
We’ve been absolutely bombarded with new sign-ups in these last couple of days – and we love that, of course!
This means even more user feedback for Spin Rewriter to learn from (and get even better), and more user feedback in the form of emails for us to organize and further improve the user experience.
We’ll keep on working hard, guys! 😀
We’ve been working mostly on our server-grid configuration in these last couple of weeks, and we’re finally ready to accept even more people on board.
This also means we’re ready to start our 2nd round of promotions – so be prepared to hear about Spin Rewriter quite a bit in the upcoming weeks. You’ve been warned. 😉
As I’m sure you know, Spin Rewriter is always learning. When a large enough number of its users suggest a new meaning for a word or a phrase, this new meaning is automatically added to our primary database, however it doesn’t come with a definition – only with its very own list of synonyms. Every now and then we take the time to process these new meanings and link them with the correct explanations and definitions, and we’ve just done that.
Right now all suggestions that Spin Rewriter might throw your way come with definitions and explanations. 😀
We just invested God-knows-how-many hours in yet another manual review of the Learning Process. You probably already know that Spin Rewriter is constantly learning from its users, and it uses this feedback to only get better and better as time goes by.
Unfortunately, no automated process is perfect and Spin Rewriter’s learning algorithms need some manual supervision from time to time. That’s why we organize regular manual reviews of the results of the learning process.
This time we improved over 80 aspects of our database of various meanings and synonyms, and certainly made Spin Rewriter even better. And there’s more to come! 😉
We’ve had some reports where our users noticed the word “don’t” being converted to “do don’t”, and the word “haven’t” to “have haven’t” etc.
These issues were certainly extremely annoying, and they’ve now been resolved. We’re sorry about the inconvenience.
