Another quick update for Keepsy! We have added a feature so you can make your keepsies private and nobody else will be able to see them! To make your keepsies private either check the box when ticking them or edit them and tick the box (in another note editing keepsies has been fixed).
Over the next few days we hope to rollout some GUI changes to Keepsy! I have now finished for Easter (six weeks off, woop!) so we plan on getting a lot done over the next few weeks, including inaugurating the business, so this place should start to get quite busy!

We have released a brand new version of the Keepsy button along the lines of what we originally planned for! It works the same as a bookmarklet you can drag to your toolbar, but rather than taking you to a new page, when pressed you can add a keepsy from the page you are on! It uses all sorts of complicated Javascript and XSS magic to achive this, and does a good job! If you aren’t logged in it will also ask you to do so before adding your keepsy!
Unfortunately this doesn’t work in IE, but has been tested to work fully in Opera, Safari (not sure about an iPhone, does that even support bookmarklets?) and Firefox!
To get this new version head over to http://www.keepsy.com/button!

Just a quick announcement to say that Keepsy is alive, and has been for the past week! We have been too busy implementing new features to announce its alive! Woops… Anyway, it isn’t officially launched yet but if you want a sneeky peek then head over to http://www.keepsy.com/!
So much for our 5 days from idea to launch, it did seem a bit extreme but I am glad we have got something up and available for everyone to try. We are trying to embrace the ‘Getting Real’ approach by releasing early and releasing often. Keepsy is so much smaller than Juvely that we decided rather than having two versions running on the server (production and development), whenever something is committed to the repository it is updated on the live version of Keepsy. This aids in bug fixes as if we need to fix any on the live version of Juvely we need to SSH into the server and run a few commands, where as for Keepsy we just need to commit! I expect we will change this as it grows, but that does mean for now you may experience a few bugs…
Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
