confesshus 2.0

This past week we spent learning and coding in Twitter integration to the site. If you have a Twitter account you can now link it up to your Confessh.us account so that when you submit a confession it’ll also send a Tweet to your Twitter account. You can make the connection, by logging in and then visiting the profile edit page (http://confessh.us/editprofile).

Over the next 6 months or so we’re going to hopefully code in some AJAX-y features which hopefully reduce the amount of page loads as well as optimize the code in the backend of the site.

Until next time, Happy Holidays to all!

Hey everyone!

As a birthday present to myself I’ve re-opened Confessh.us and we’ve rolled out a couple new updates!

• Our blog is now running version 3.0 software.
• Our forums are now running 1.0.2 software.
• Notifications are now a new feature! You can get notified when someone comments on your confession, likes your confession and when someone comments on your profile. You can of course enable or disable these in your profile settings.
• You can reset your profile image back to default via your profile settings page.
• Uploading a new profile image will delete your old profile image from the server. What’s the sense in keeping old images around?!
• You can find timestamps on both profile and confession comments.
• Other various little bug fixes, verbiage, spelling, design tweaks were also made.

Of course the big one, Twitter integration is still a work in progress. We’ve got a lot to learn about with their API. I am hoping to have that stuff rolled out by the end of the winter, or Spring 2011. I know it seems like a long way off, but when you have no idea how it all works, it actually seems like there won’t be enough time!

Thank you everyone who checks out and uses this website. As always please report feedback and bugs to our support forums!

So it’s pretty much been about a full year since I’ve really worked on this. I’m spending the remainder of my summer on Confessh.us! I spent the first half working on another paid project however I would now like to set all my focus onto squishing bugs people have found as well as adding a couple new features to the site. Currently I’ve managed to close one ticket and am currently working on two of the tickets which I’ve been dreading the most, upgrading the blog and support forums. Since we have so much custom code hooked into both, I thought it would be a nightmare, but so far it hasn’t been to bad. I am really hoping by the end of October to have most of these support tickets closed and a bunch of new features added. Wish me luck!

We’ll be turning all servers and services off tomorrow at 9am EST. We’re experiencing some power issues and rather then get corrupted databases out of it, we’ll be turning them off while we look into the issue. All data has been backed up.

This outage could last anywhere from 6 to 12 hours.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The last couple of days I’ve been working with Rafael and we’ve been working on making things show up properly across all web browsers. I think we’ve got a pretty good handle on it. Let me know if you see anything odd (report it in the support section of the message boards).

I’ve also edited the public profile page so that if you submit an anonymous confession, it won’t then show up in your public profile, I mean that pretty much defeats the purpose of anonymizing a comment, right?!

Also I must mention, thank you everyone! Thanks for checking out my new website and sharing your confessions. It’s so cool, so thanks a lot! Also thanks to people sending in bugs and such, it’s really appreciated!
