Getting close...

Whoa, been two weeks since my last post. Blogging is a big commitment! Well since my last post we have checklists working great and we've added simple note type sheets. These are my personal favorite because I like to jot stuff down, notes from calls, etc. and this works great for me. We now have the early tri-fecta: lists, checklists, notes!

We are now full-swing in developing the sharing piece. Lots of challenge in the design/build of this but we have really turned the corner in last few days and it looks very good for a solid landing next week. This is the final capstone to our public beta launch planned for first week of June. We are super excited, what a long journey it has been (mid 2007).

Tonight working on the FAQ...

Good and then really good

Well, checklist sheets didn't score perfect landing today but landed nonetheless. We couldn't quite get the "filter/hide" checked items function to work the way we wanted so we had to settle for sorting to bottom only for now. It still looks and works great with the strikethrough and fade, we'll come back and get the filter/hide to work later. Glad to have this one done and now knock out simple text/note sheets.

But the BIG news today was the call I received late in the day from someone that has been advising and watching us closely in the last few months. He and several other good souls we've been talking to apparently talked and decided to invest in jibidee. Whoa! This is big for us and the timing couldn't have been better. No stopping us now! Allen

My first post

My first Jibidee blog post, let's see how this goes. Cool thing is that checklists/to-do list type sheets should be in by morning by my guesstimate. I personally have been waiting for this one, will use big time. The existing rows/columns sheets are cool and I use them but right now with everything I'm trying to manage, I need to check some stuff off!! And the next thing is the plain/notepad sheets which I need almost as bad for all the notes I have scattered. Having a real "up" day today realizing how good jibidee is coming out and how unique and useful it will be for people (and already is for our private beta users). It was especially encouraging to get so much positive response from our little pricing survey, people are willing to pay a little money for unlimited, no ad version which is great because we may be able to self-fund ourselves sooner and keep building new cool stuff which is what we want to do. We also learned from our survey that 20 sheets is a plenty big enough number for the free users. Our vision for the site all along was for it to be free for most users and our current plan should allow for that. All for now, Allen
