Gridjit login made easier for Alpha users

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

One of the biggest requests I’ve had over the last few days was a way to make it easier to log back in after logging out. Until just now, the login functionality was hidden behind the invitation screen so you had to re-enter your invite in order to login. This was annoying to all of us (include me) so I’ve fixed it.

You can now log in from a link on the front page. Sorry for the initial headaches! :-)

More Gridjit invites coming!

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Thank you to everyone who has signed up for the Gridjit alpha over the last few days. Given the little time I have had to put into marketing it, the response has been very strong. I’ll keep getting invites out as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone for their patience!

An early preview of Gridjit: Invite round #1

Friday, June 20th, 2008

The new Gridjit has been deployed to the live server and a small number of people have been given invites to start playing around. I’m still working to get things stabilized. Once things are a little more stable, I’ll start adding more people to the alpha release.

It’s a big relief to finally have the new code deployed. A huge number of changes have gone into the new code base and it’s a much more robust platform. The FriendFeed support is the most noticable and the overall design has been greatly refactored, hopefully making it more enjoyable and easier to use.

All in all, the new development took about two months because of a lot of travel that I did for business. If I had to guess how much actual time went in so far, I’d estimate at about a month.

If you haven’t signed up for an invite yet and you want to get in early, you can sign up at Gridjit.com.

Stay tuned for more news!
