It has been a few weeks now since I launched the “unofficial” Type Aloud beta and I have been quietly working on improvements after having some good friends and family pound the site. My aim is to have announce a bigger and better version within the upcoming weeks (sooner, if possible) as I believe there are only a few kinks left to work out of the system. At this point I am going to take some time and actually write some content for the site and work on promoting this bad mamma jamma.
This week’s work schedule includes:
- Getting the commenting system on stories and chapters working properly.
- Finalizing unpublished for stories and draft mode for chapters.
- ‘Report this story’ (and chapter) button for flagging either spam or inappropriate content.
- Fixing some minor style and navigation issues.
Some longer term issues will be working on proper poem support as well as permissions on story and chapter viewing. I hope to have the beginnings of these worked out in the upcoming weeks after the unpublished, flagging and draft modes are completed. Some improvements that are in the pipeline but aren’t dated yet: user (crowd source) tagging and descriptions, badges and search.
