Release 8: It is all about the Pages !

Hello Storytellers !

 

Just in time for the spring, we bring you a fresh new release with two really exciting new features and various little tweaks and bug fixes. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do ! If you want to directly see the new features in action, have a look at eschnou's page.

 

We introduce the notion of Pages, available in the Configure->Pages section. A page is a different view at your data than the standard lifestream. For example a picture page will display all your pictures, accross all sources, in a nice gallery format. You can also add as many 'lifestream' page as you like, and select which content to display on each. This is only the begining, now that the foundation is in place we have many ideas of new kind of pages leveraging your data in innovative ways !

 

Tagging is finally there, and unified accross all data sources. A tag cloud widget is also provided to help you navigate your data. Note that tags will be imported from now on, so if you want them for past data, you'll have to reimport your sources (but this can destroy stories and comments associated with old items).

 

A new theme is added, and this time it is a contribution from one of our users ! Thanks a lot to stumblepeach for this ! We really appreciate !

 

Amongst the other tweaks, it is worth pointing out that you can now edit the title of any widget (yes, you can get rid of the 'my web 2.0 life' title if you want :-). We've also added a remember me box, especially useful for all of you using the bookmarklet.

 

That's it for now. Please send us your feedback, tell us what you think and if you spot any issue, contact us and we'll try to fix asap !

 

Thank you all for the fantastic support,

 

Cheers,

 

-Laurent & Alard

Absolutely brilliant! I really love the new "pictures" tab and the "blog" tab (thanks for the trick). Excellent job!

I'm considering switching entirely to storytlr, instead of a self-hosted blog.

Fantastique !!!
La personnalisation des titres et les tags nous rapprochent d'un blog mais en beaucoup mieux !

Love the new pages. You guys don't recognize Flickr videos as Videos for the Video page. Any chance that will get done?
