Beta 1 release

We’re proud to announce that we are today releasing our first public beta of Collectish – now everyone else can join the fun!

Collectish Beta 1 includes a batch of bug fixes and minor improvements – plus a few major ones including:

• a feedback system for our users to submit ideas and bug notifications
• the ability to mark individual items as “private”, meaning that only the owner may view certain items

The feedback feature is really important. For now, we’re trying out uservoice as our feedback platform.  Users can now sign in and submit ideas using the feedback link which is visible at the top of each page. Obviously we also have lots of ideas of our own and this this system will enable us to test popularity for these as well.

We feel that the “private item” feature is pretty important too. Obviously we would like everyone to share all of their item records but there are good reasons why some users may hide some details from view. That said, hiding entire records is a bit of a sledgehammer approach and ideally, users would be able to hide certain fields within their item records – we’ll be introducing this feature (along with many other things)  in the very near future.

Alpha 3 release

We have held off with the Beta 1 public release while we sort out some internal process stuff, but development continues unabated. We have released Alpha 3 with a bunch of bug fixes plus notable new stuff including:

• tag suggestions
• rating on items
• report abuse links
• image lightbox (using FancyBox)

There’s some fantastic content being uploaded into the system!
