About to bring on our first users

We are at a point in development where we having something usable. At this point we have a sign up list and some friends that are willing to be test users, and even though I don't feel like we have built out some of our key value areas, I do think it's time to have real users test and give feed back.

But before we do this we are doing some final upgrades and refactoring. As I mentioned we have a system that is the foundation of what we are building: a social blogging platform. But right now we have been focusing on optimizing the platform, making sure images load quickly, setting up formatting for blog posts, and most importantly refactoring the way we are getting data to make sure everything loads very quickly and reduces our calls to the server.

It's a very exciting time for us because we can't wait to work with our users and show them what we've built.
