I rolled some changes to Gridjit today that should further enhance Gridjit’s security. This is a routine enhancement and shouldn’t have any effect on the UI.
If you notice any weirdness, please email support@gridjit.com. Otherwise, enjoy!
Today I rolled a biggish update to Gridjit.com that should make it more enjoyable to use. The big new features are:
Integration of FriendFeed Likes, Comments and Rooms
In the first screenshot below, you can see the new menu system that allows Gridjit to support additional network features from services like FriendFeed and Twitter (with more to come).
The next screenshot shows something I’ve been wanting in Gridjit for a long time - a startpage-like view of all of the rooms I am a member of with, of course, the ability to drill into each room.
Twitter Replies
Finally, a feature long lacking in Gridjit is the integration of Twitter replies. I have further enhancements planned here, so stay tuned.
Some smaller enhancements (due to popular request):
Also, I made some minor performance and other tweaks on the backend. It’s been a good week.
Let me know if you experience any issues with the new changes. Enjoy!
One source of many issues since Gridjit went into Alpha has been around incorrect username / password / remote key combinations when adding Twitter and FriendFeed services.
Today I released a simple feature (present in pretty much all clients) that attempts an authentication check with FriendFeed and Twitter before accepting the credentials. This is one of those things that should have always been in there and am finally getting to it now.
Hopefully this will make using Gridjit easier!
