Multitap.net
Posted on Tue 20 Dec, 2005
Multitap.net, our first project, was launched on December 6th, 2005.
Multitap.net was designed to allow gamers to post screenshots of action during play, something we have done ourselves using forums and various image hosting services. We never felt current image hosting services were inadequate for this task, so we decided to build Multitap.net.
People are already starting to find out about it, and of course, suggestions are flying in on what features we should add…
Of course, following our mantra of simplicity, the features are very basic at the moment. We hope to work with the community to bring direction to future developments, only adding features the community wishes to see.
During beta, the site will be free. So get posting screenshots!
Multitap.net: Revision 100
Posted on Wed 21 Dec, 2005
Multitap.net’s source has just reached a milestone: revision 100. This contains new features and improvements which we hope to launch before Christmas:
- Add people to a friends list to help keep track of friends
- Friendlier date formatting
- Consistency improvements to the design across the site
One of these features was suggested to us to a user of the site. If you wish to request features, you can use the contact form on the site, or post comments to this weblog.
Tiktrac
Posted on Wed 21 Dec, 2005
We’re in the final stages of testing Tiktrac, our timesheets software.
For a long time, we have had to put up with spreadsheets for timesheets. So one of us initiated a project to create a simple Ajax time management application, and then we both evolved it into something quite sophisticated.
We have also updated the Tiktrac homepage, so you can read more about the features it will launch with.
Tiktrac launched
Posted on Thu 22 Dec, 2005
We’ve finally launched Tiktrac! Tiktrac, a timesheet package aimed at small to medium-sized businesses, has been created to serve a specific task in a simple and elegant manner. As such, we have used Ajax to enhance user experience: our primary goal was to make it as quick and easy to use as a spreadsheet.
Tiktrac is currently in beta, and as such we recognise that any small wrinkles may lead to changes in the near future. Therefore, Tiktrac will be free to use during the beta period.
We hope Tiktrac relinquishes you from the shackles of emailing spreadsheets or legacy applications! And, as always, please contact us to request features and suggest improvements to the service.
Happy Holidays!
Posted on Thu 22 Dec, 2005
First of all, happy holidays to everyone who uses our sites!
Secondly, Multitap.net has been upgraded. As well as a few consistency improvements to various features, we’ve added a ‘friends’ system which allows you to add users to a friends list. This will be extended in 2006 to provide more sophisticated features, but the bare minimum is there.
This allows me, for example, to keep track of what Kev is posting to the site. I like to keep an eye on what images he’s posted, so he’s been added to my friends list.
To support this feature, we will be improving the ‘user page’ to include a brief overview of their friends’ screenshots. All will come in due time… And, please share your ideas for the site with us!
