Chipmark Development Blog

With only some minor hiccups, we have managed to release 3.1 unto the world.

This release contains a complete overhaul of our WebUI and some new features for the plugins as well.

I’ll mention some tidbits from the Firefox release, specifically:

• The addon now displays a little icon and asks for confirmation if you add a chipmark that you’ve already added before. This helps if you have a lot of chipmarks and forgot if you’ve added something or not.
• Since there are some adult websites in the database we implemented a content filter to block out adult material unless disabled. This can be done from the WebUI or the plugin.
• You can now share folders with another user, making all chipmarks within that folder available to them to look at.
• There is now a preference for having chipmarks open in new tabs from the chipmark menu.
• Naturally, a bunch of bug fixes that people were requesting. Please send us feedback if you are still experiencing an old problem or have noticed something new!
• We also have a simple recommendation system that should populate in a day or so. It’s fairly primitive, but it could amuse some.
• By popular demand, the random chipmark functionality refreshes every click now.

There’s a lot more of course, but perhaps I’ll leave that for some of the other team members to discuss.

We have a blog! Check back for progress of the Chipmark project, new development, internal discussion, and other fun stuff. Our goal is to try to update on a regular basis and ask for feedback.

Look forward to hearing from the Servlet Architect, Customer Experience Expert and Dr. John Riedl, The VP of Chipmark.

So we lost our original database/install when we upgraded to the new SQL server. But now our blog is born anew!
