During the week, our developers check code into our code management system and then once a week (and sometimes more frequently) we do what’s called a ‘Build.’ The Build moves the code from the staging servers to the production servers and makes it available for everyone to use and see.
In this Build we included lots of small changes a few major changes to the way our system works.
- Refererenced Members. We bifurcated our membership between Referenced Members and Unreferenced Members. Referenced Members have a written reference from a person of the same gender that they said they were seeking when they registered. The idea here is to create a sense of exclusivity and a feeling of community
- Google Maps. This is a mashup of Google maps and our members. The display is a work in progress and we’d like to hear suggestions of the best way to show profiles on this page.
- Search. In the prior version, we build “Search” on the home page as a way to get visitors to see how the system works before having to fully register. We let users perform a search and then sent profiles to their mobile phones. The feedback was that the back and forth between the computer and the phone was too confusing. In this version, we let you do a search, see applicable results directly on the computer, and then complete registration on the computer.
- Email a Picture. You can now email a picture from your phone to us and we’ll post it directly to your profile. The most recent picture you send will be the one we use with your profile. If you’re not registered as a Member, you can also register by sending a picture to Register@i.meetmoi.com
As always we’re soliciting your feedback while we try to improve the product.
