Happy new year 2010!

January 1, 2010

2009 was a busy year for picoBeat: the early software was heavily improved, almost every piece of code has been rewritten and refactored at least once, SyncML synchronization was added (now a very popular feature) and of course this is the year it left private beta and became publicly available!

So what’s in for 2010? We have a huge, seemingly endless list of features and ideas we’d like to implement. Top of the list is a complete rewrite of the Group module that will offer many collaborative features. It’ll later tie in with a messaging module. Also expect a new Windows utility that’ll go way beyond the current picoBeat Notify, as well as more work to integrate picoBeat in other online services, browsers, mobile phones and the Windows operating system.

I’d like to thank everyone who has taken the time to send bug reports and feature requests, and wish to all picoBeat’s users an excellent, productive and stellar 2010 year!

  1. Yay! Thanks for great service, i just signed up and synchronized – like your neat interface very much :) Are feature requests still accepted? It would be great if there will be some kind of autotag feature – eg. by contact’s city or organisation.

  2. Thanks! Of course all feature requests are always welcome :)

    Rather than permanently modifying tags of each contacts I think it’ll be easier to add extra filtering options by organization & city (this will “feel like” tagging but actually just index existing city and organization fields)

  3. Yep, that what i meant ) Having extra filtering options will be great! And maybe showing contacts by first letter too (with Cyrillic support please :) ) – right near the search bar for example. [abc def ghi jkl ... абв где жзи ...]

  4. Should be feasible too. It’s in the feature to-do list, I’ll put an option to switch between latin/cyrillic alphabet when it is implemented.
