Noovo Early Spring Version Due This Monday!

Dear Noovites,

I wish to thank you for your patience with the recently somewhat slower and less reliable Noovo. We've been working hard to resolve many issues around performance and usability. The service may be down for several hours during the Monday release.

What to expect:

  • Radar is coming back with vengeance! Finally, you might actually enjoy following external (rss) feeds in Noovo for their freshness and snappiness. A release after this one, Radar pages will start keeping track of what you read and providing recommendations.
  • We have subtly redesigned the Home page, streams and controls. This is  the first step towards deeper changes aimed at easier reading and contributing. However, some buttons will be temporary gone from the Home page until the next release.
  • Submitting and reposting stories will be completely different now: instead of creating copies, Noovo will create links to the original. This should greatly improve the recommendations and defragment comments that are now randomly scattered among several copies of republished stories.
  • Two-way syncing with Flickr and blogs will work as it always should have.
  • Several big changes under the hood should make Noovo feel much faster.
  • New users will find some friendly guides that will point out key features around the site.
  • We finally added a music player.

Have a great weekend,

Matej
