Skribit Blog

Edit: For some reason our server thinks it’s yesterday – but launch day is today, the 17th!

Here at Skribit we’ve been waiting a long, long time to really see how high Skribit can go. And by waiting I mean, we’ve been constantly developing and developing to get things right before we start marketing it. We still have a ton of ideas (and a few fixes) left to make until we are happy with it ourselves but it floats the boat and we’re ready to bring on more people to check it out.

The latest addition to Skribit is the ability to sign up with Twitter or pair your existing account with your Twitter account. This makes logging in as simple as clicking on the Twitter button. We utilize secure OAuth for the connection and only request read access so we’ll never be able to tweet, DM, autofollow or do anything sneaky with your account.

Most of our other updates are just polishing up current features or adding some little bits of new functionality here and there. For example, Pro users can now set the order in which suggestions are listed on the widget and suggestions tab, as well as the ability for an advanced install of the suggestions tab, allowing you to use your own link or graphic for the tab.

And then we baked in some small buttons for helping people share their blog profile or suggestions on Twitter. This after we noticed a lot of people using Twitter to ask their friends to suggest topics for them to blog about.

So in short, this release has had lots of polishing and is just the beginning of what we really want to do. I hear Calvin is working on expanding our WordPress plugin… more on that later. Thanks to all of the early users that have helped us find issues, see what needs tweaking and help with the user experience!
