Our website got a speed boost!

Never completely satisfied with their insane technological achievements, our engineers have been hard at work once again — this time they were tweaking the first thing you come in contact with when considering joining the Spin Rewriter family… our website!

The website got a thorough behind-the-scenes overhaul, with all sorts of technological advancements. There’s an even better utilization of CDNs (content delivery networks for optimized loading of images, styles and scripts from an array of servers around the world), better delivery of crucial elements for above-the-fold rendering so the pages on our website pop up even more quickly, and a significantly optimized approach to JavaScript elements that make our website even more user-friendly.

We were able to bring our website into the top 10% range of most “speedy” and responsive websites globally, and that’s including the tons of images and a video that always get loaded on the homepage.

Pretty cool! 😀

Another manual update of our synonyms database

Even though Spin Rewriter is armed to the teeth with the latest-and-greatest from the cutting-edge arsenal of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence weapons, nothing beats a good ol’ manual review from time to time.

With this in mind we’ve been hard at work over the past 3 weeks, pouring more than 360 man-hours into a manual review of the commonly used synonyms in our database.

This is no small challenge, though. The reason Spin Rewriter performs magically well and comes up with an incredible list of synonyms in 99% of the cases lies in its underlying complexity. And this complexity makes any kind of manual tinkering a challenging process. But it’s still well worth it from time to time.

Bottom line, we’re sure you’ll notice a further improvement in the quality of your spun content — and I’m sure you’re going to love that! 😀

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2017!

Aaron — and the entire SmileyTech Solutions / INFINET team 😀

(Even) better parsing of HTML tags

It’s no secret that Spin Rewriter is an absolute champ when it comes to parsing HTML code that your texts have been wrapped into.

In other words, Spin Rewriter doesn’t play nice just with simple texts that consist of headings and paragraphs and little else.

It also plays nice with texts that include HTML tags, links, images, unordered and ordered lists, italics, bolded sections, etc. All of this extra HTML code that’s usually thrown into the middle of sentences trips up most text-processing software products out there, but it’s been one of our primary focuses since the beginning — and it shows.

With today’s update, we’ve taken care of two very minor, very sporadic issues that have popped up from time to time when parsing particularly tricky bits of HTML code inside your texts. So, at this points, we’re quite confident that when it comes to HTML, Spin Rewriter is — as usual — the undisputed market leader.

Here’s to you making the most of the power Spin Rewriter brings you! 😀

Improved integration of our image database

We’ve just rolled out another update to the built-in database of royalty-free stock photos and images that’s available to all users of Spin Rewriter. With this update, we’ve made the integration even better — not only is there a large number of photos available now, but we’ve also implemented query caching in our back-end infrastructure which means that we’ve managed to speed up the entire user experience when it comes to adding relevant images to your generated spun articles.

I hope you like the update! 😉

A little birdy just told me…

…that there’s a new spinner on the block!

And, well, you know what they say. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” and all that. At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself. 😀

So, here’s Spin Rewriter’s design for remote posting to WordPress websites. We rolled it out in 2014:

And here’s how our newest competitor completely reimagined their remote posting interface:

Hmm… OK. Well, they did switch around the “Cancel” and “Publish This Post” buttons in the bottom right, I’ll give them that.

In all seriousness, I wish them all the best — the more, the merrier!

We’re now officially MOBILE READY

Hooray!

The mobile version of the official Spin Rewriter website now passes all tests when it comes to delivering a truly great user experience on mobile devices with small screens.

You’ve seen some of the changes that we’ve recently rolled out in my previous post on mobile responsiveness, and today I’d like to share this with you:

Spin Rewriter - Mobile User Experience

Spin Rewriter – Mobile User Experience

The result of the test above means that our website now passes all challenges that stood in our way on the path to a truly great mobile user experience. From large and friendly texts, generous whitespace, larger targets for links and buttons… which also includes a completely redesigned header and footer of the website… all the way to mobile-optimized images and so on and so forth.

Thanks to everyone on the team who had a hand in delivering these updates, and we couldn’t be more excited about it all! 😀 Hope you like it!
