Afrigator Beta 2 - Tons of new stuff…

We just released Afrigator Beta verion 2.0 (hehe) and I’m tired, but excited! Charl Norman from Bandwidth blog did a quick summary and a more comprehensive list can be found on our Afrigator blog. I will basically over the next few days as time allows, do a more in depth discussion on what is new and how it works.

I want to give a special thanks to Charl Norman, Saul Kropman, Nic Haralambous and Charl van Niekerk for their support! If you see any bugs, please let us know by emailing the nasty to bugs@afrigator.com We would greatly appreciate that!

I also want to give Mark Forrester a special word up. It can be quite daunting for designers who are not at all used to working on the command line to suddenly have to issue subversion commands and use Capistrano to update the site and work independently. He really impressed me with how quickly he got settled on the command line. Why to go Marky! We’ll make a propeller head of you soon…

I guess, for me personally the two features that stands out the most are the customisation features. The fact that you can filter content by country and be able to see selected posts from selected categories on the home page. You need to set it up once, and every time you return thereafter you are presented with relevant information. That was our aim and I’d say we’re not at all that far off target. Beyond doubt, the customisation would continue and grow…

So my next post will be how to customise, but first, some other urgent work to do… Once more, thank you to everyone for the support.

  Very impressive, Stii! It was well worth the wait, well done on this, all the hard work you put in is definitely paying off. It’s looking really cool indeed. Am looking forward to the APIs; already have a whole list of mashup ideas lined up.
