No such thing as a Sunday … :)

September 18, 2011 /

There’s no such thing as a Sunday when you’re running a start-up … especially a start-up that has just EXPLODED and you’re getting a metric ton of feedback every day about what your users love / think could be improved / think could be added.

You probably noticed Friday’s post that was filled with updates and general goodies for our wonderful users. Well, we’re not stopping there. 😀

Here’s what was added during the weekend:

  • keyboard navigation (YES, it’s true – you can highlight the previous word with the Shift+A combination, and the next word with the Shift+S combination)
  • the keyword that you’re currently working on is now highlighted by being green instead of red
  • you are now able to export your finished (spun) article into a text file with spinning syntax (spintax) in place
  • you can now create categories and then sort your finished articles by these categories
  • a bunch of other minor issues were fixed

Thanks again for using Spin Rewriter, everybody,
we’ll make sure it only gets better and better! 😀

We’re almost there (4 hours left!)

OKAY, we’re almost there … our big Spin Rewriter Launch is scheduled for

This also means you’ll be able to grab your subscription at 9 AM PST (Los Angeles time), 5 PM GMT (London), and a bit after midnight in Japan and Australia. 😉

We’ve got a special … and I mean SPECIAL discount prepared for you guys!

Super excited, talk to you later,

Aaron 😀

No more “Whoops, where did it go?!”

I wrote about a functionality that was requested by a couple of our Beta Testers about a week ago – our users demanded something that would prevent them from losing all their hard work if they accidentally pressed the “back” button or somehow left Spin Rewriter’s Edit Mode without saving their progress.

We just improved Spin Rewriter’s user interface and added what was requested – from now on you can no longer accidentally lose your progress. Whether you click the “previous page” / “next page” button, refresh the page, click on a link or close your browser while you’re in Edit Mode, you will be asked to confirm if you really want to do that. This way you can feel safe and happily click on everything you want, and you’ll never lose your hard work.

Try it out! 😀

We’re getting a ton of suggestions – a big Thank You!

I just wanted to once again publicly thank all of our Beta Testers who are doing incredible work in helping us make a superb product!

We’re constantly getting great feedback and based on this feedback we’ll be soon be adding great little tweaks such as:

– While users are in the Edit Mode (actively working on their articles), they will be warned if they click the “previous page” or “next page” button in their web browser or they want to leave the page without saving their progress. What does this mean? It means that our users will never lose their hard work and all the rewriting progress they’ve done with their articles by accidentally pressing the “backspace” key on their keyboards which takes you to the previous page.

– Users will soon be able to select phrases that span over punctuation marks, e.g. they will be able to select the phrase “the red, white and blue” that they currently cannot and replace it with “the American flag”.

– Users will be able to simply click on the underscore (underline) of already suggested phrases to select them, instead of manually selecting them by dragging their mouse over them.

As you can see, we’re working pretty hard, so – stay tuned! 😀
