Helipad update coming soon

Helipad has been receiving some serious development effort recently, with the following new features going through final testing:

• The Edit/Preview/Share buttons have been moved alongside the save button, and work dynamically (no page reloads)
• The themes are being enhanced to make things appear smoother
• Big performance improvements

These updates should go live within the next week.

Despite Helipad being a free application, I get a lot of pressure to work on it because all my friends use it! It currently has around 5,000 users, with several hundred using it every day. Not bad for something I developed by myself in a month!

I’m also still working on the Mac OS Helipad client that we announced last year. Because it’s a departure from Helicoid’s core focus (web applications), it’s taking longer to develop. I’m currently stuck trying to figure out how to get it to sync between a mac and Helipad, but it’s getting there.
