You may have experienced a few minutes of downtime today as we pushed new code.
What we pushed On the Front-end
Updated text box, fixed the annoying triple click to activate the text within the text field
Changed function of add new slide creation
Now the add slide action triggers a request to the server to create slide xml. It then adds the new slide to the slide sorter… avoiding time between creating the slide within the slide sorter and updating
Fixed preview problems when previewing a new empressr that was just saved
Added second remoting interface to lighten responder traffic
Back-end Updates to support above features
Powerpoint Import is working great and will be released in the next few weeks once these bugs are fixed
Illegal chars pulled from the ppt file
Slide order is incorrect when pulled from the presentation
I’m going to make sure we inform the community every time we push new code! It’s usually on Fridays, but we were ready today.
All engines are go for the May 1 NYC CrunchNetwork meet-up at Red Sky at 47 E. 29th Street between Park and Madison. The show starts at 7pm and we’ll have free drinks, amazing giveaways, and the entire CG team as well as Erick from TC and maybe a special MYSTERY GUEST who’s first name starts with M and rhymes with Ikele Smarrington.
I like when I see a review that the reviewer spent some time with the product and provides a though opinion. Mr. Byrne does a great job with this review, Thanks
The web based element of Empressr is very useful for students that need to make visual aids for presentations, but do not have a computer of their own to use all the time. Students can work on their presentations from any computer connected to the Internet.
Is this the beginning of the mainstream use of the cloud as a place beyond finding your news, friends or entertainment? Whenever I read such a basic description of a technology in layman’s terms, mainstream is not far off. This excites me and we will be there for the masses with the best visual story telling tool in the cloud.
Away 3d features Empressr on their site today. We love Away 3d, we used their very cool technology for the 3d transitions in Empressr. We plan on offering a lot more in the very near future. Take a look at the Empressr created showing a few of their 3d models.
