txtFeeder

Still not open for Beta testing, however, I have added a more ‘community’ like feature. You can now share your feeds with everyone else, search through others’ shared feeds, as well as see other users’ profiles and which feeds they are sharing. I don’t plan on adding much more ‘community’ type features, but its definitely an open for discussion down the road.

Should be launching a Beta soon. I’ll keep you posted…

I’ve finally got some better administrative features going on. Drag and Drop feed re-organization is functioning pretty well, and now, I’m happy to announce you can now search for feeds (using Google’s AJAX API). Should make the experience a lot nicer, and will keep me happy with it for a while.

Hoping to get things officially ‘published’ in a ‘Beta’ type mode so I can see how all this will work with a little stress. At this point, stress testing as been… well… pretty low priority.  I’ve got everything *functioning* the way I want, so once I get some people using this, I may have some tweaking to do, but I am pretty confident it’ll hold up pretty well.

New commands have been added, as well as alternative commands. There are a few alternative commands, to help reduce the amount of texts having to be sent, because you forgot the exact command. It’s saved me a lot of time during testing, because I keep swapping the order of some of the words, only to get error messages.

• help – lists out the current commands
• feed list/list feeds

Friendlier error messages, no more pesky server errors in your cell’s inbox, and hopefully, every time you send a text, you’ll get a response. Testing thus far returns a response 99.9% of the time. Working to make sure it stays that way…

I’ve re-worked how feeds are being read, displayed, and sent, so things should process much faster. In my tests, response time is about 30 seconds – 1 minute… I am working to decrease this time even further, though, I am not sure I’ll be able to do much better than that… We will see.. I’ll keep you posted!
