After some serious development, receeve.it is back!

Most of the original functionality is back and we have lists available from the off! The site’s service was restored Over a week ago with the first update on Friday. Everything is looking good and we look forward to welcoming new members!

Keep an eye out for improvements, enhancements and new features!

And we’re off

receeve.it finally re-launched yesterday. We’re excited and much happier with the platform we’ve started with this time round. We pretty much re-coded everything and hope we’ve got it right this time.

Some features will be missing, while others have been introduced, but we hope to bring a lot of our old features back quickly and seamlessly.

On track

A few months on from the last announcement and receeve.it is on it’s way back.

We’ve overhauled a large chunk o the code and got it into a far more stable state than before. Profiles are better, the site should be faster and features are coming along nicely.

Once we have it just past where it was before, we’ll be looking to launch what will most likely be our first 1.x version.

Down but not out!

The end of November saw the end of receeve.it, for 2009 anyway! We’ve had problems with logins, adding items and just some of the general processes that users go through when adding items.

Despite being in BETA, the site didn’t match our own expectations so were now rebuilding it from the ground up!

I feel we’ve go logins and registrations down, but we’re really excited to start moving onto the main parts of the site; items and lists!

We also want to make our whole social aspect better, so you’ll be able to interact more with others and with us.

@receeveit and @beunequaled on twitter for more updates!

Toolbar in the works

Chaz — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:17:30 +0000

We’ve been planning a toolbar for ages, but until recently, we weren’t sure how to execute our idea. As of today, v0.1 of our toolbar is ready internally at receeve.it and we’re looking to make some improvements that will make browser integration better.

We’ve been working with shrynk.me to deliver a short URL service too, but some issues have risen that will mean some re-writing is needed.

Keep an eye on our Twitter account to see our progress on all our features!

Server issues resolved

Chaz — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 22:54:06 +0000

We experienced a few issues while we made changes to our server setup. Things seem to be back to normal now and we hope to push receeve.it to the next version soon!

receeve.it moving to its final home, still in BETA

Chaz — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:08:58 +0000

Over the coming days and weeks, I’ll be moving receeve.it to it’s real home, removing dev from it’s URL! Big step for the project so that future users can just sign up to the site.

Keep an eye on the blog or look out for a receeve.it email landing in your inbox soon!

Normal development should pick up soon after as time allows. Feature requests are always welcome.

Oh and we will be in BETA for a while yet, but the move should coincide with version 0.8

receeve.it BETA launch

Chaz — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:31:30 +0000

We’re happy to announce that we’ve now launched the beta version of receeve.it!

Head on over to http://beta.receeve.it to register and get started! You can still register at http://receeve.it for future updates and when we announce our alpha and full releases.

receeve.it now firmly at 0.65, BETA approaching

Chaz — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:30:41 +0000

I’ve had some great feedback recently and a few issues raised, so we’re ironing them out as best we can. While we’ve been working to finish some features off, we’ve noticed other things missing and decided to add a bit more functionality here and there while also improving exciting features.

We’re looking at a BETA release in the next week or so, so keep your eyes peeled!

Please remember, the site is always under construction, so things aren’t perfect, text/content may be missing and features may not work as intended, be down or upgraded as necassary! More info soon!

Making progress, looking to release our first BETA soon!

Chaz — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:51:11 +0000

Although we has planned to make a BETA release in March, April is now upon us and we are not as close as we’d like to be. We have two sticking points right now. One is a feature that needs to be completed and the other is a lack of knowledge. We hope to have the first ironed out over the coming weekend and the other by the end of April at the latest… however we may just drop it from our first BETA release and introduce it once we’re 100% ready with it. It’s a key piece for us, so no point doing the work unless it will be done right!

Internally, we’re on version 0.6 and our BETA will be 0.65 or 0.7 so we won’t be far off from our full official launch, depending on user experiences and feedback off course!

When we first launched our signup page, we were planning to stagger user sign ups, but we feel that we might be ready to open our doors to all. Please check back soon and keep an eye out for our launch!
