Just finished off the third minor release of MeltingFood, the recipe / food sharing website for the new millennium (the new millennium line is still good ’til the half way point – 491 years to go, then we switch from ‘new’ to ‘next’).
Highlights
- When searching for your friends, auto-complete drops down to help you.
- See friends of your friends (if your friends have any friends you can now see a list of those friends – clear?).
- More ajax-y responses (for the non-geek, when you delete your recipes, add friends or reject friends, you won’t have to wait for the page to reload).
- Slightly smaller pages (for the geeks, javascript framework change from Prototype to jQuery – more conducive to removing in-line js and forms).
- Google Analytics – so we get some idea of how people are coming to / using the site.
- Rough business plan.
There’s also a bunch of other minor bug fixes and improvements.
Progress
We’ve got about 8 current users (accessed in the last month)! And about 45 total users referred. This is without even resorting to nagging everyone we know (we’re keeping half in reserve ;p). Based on the business plan, this means we’re at 0.008% of the target (100k unique people per month :)).
But keep your eyes open in the next month… we’re eating our words and going public!
