We usually launch new features every couple of weeks, however we thought it would be cool to let you know what’s coming. Me and Dustin put together a road map for the next three months of the things we will be working on. It’s not in order, but we hope to have all of these things checked off around the end of January.
- Customizable designs – We offer some great designs for users to choose from, however one can’t upload a custom background or change the colors. In a few weeks, we are adding customizable designs for all users.
- AJAX all across Yazzem – Every time you post a comment, update your status, subscribe to a user, etc. the page refreshes. With AJAX, we can change that and add a smoother feel to Yazzem.
Upload photos on status updates – This has been in the plans for a while, however we thought it would make Yazzem even more powerful by allowing a user to upload photos for their status. A small thumbnail of that picture will show next to the status, which one can hover over and see the “big image”.- Language packs – We’ve noticed an increased percentage of visitors coming from other countries, so we decided it would be a good idea to have different languages for one to choose from. If they post anything in their language that you don’t understand, their post will automatically be converted to your language.
SMS notifications – Eventually you’ll be able to type in your cell number and phone carrier and be notified by SMS of any new messages, comments, etc.- iPhone app – Right now, we just offer m.yazzem.com, so we knew eventually we were going to need an iPhone app that you can easily access with the flick/touch of a finger. More news will come on this later.
- Palm App – Another mobile app in the works right now is Yazzem Mojo, for the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi. This will offer you great functionality to use wherever you go with your Palm device.
We may add some new things over time to this road map, but this is what we have so far. Please let us know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
The Yazzem Team
