Alerts are here!
Finally we managed to release alert filters to the system! It’s still a little buggy and we have already detected a couple of glitches that we are working on, but all in all it’s pretty decent. As for today you can create an alert with a bunch of keywords and get all posts within your subscriptions that match those keywords. As usual, the posts that are captured by the alert will also display related clustered posts so you can dig further if you want to.
Apart from the alerts, we’ve fixed a lot of bugs, updated our jQuery libs and integrated jQuery UI into our interface. There were some nasty bugs when importing some opml files that have been fixed as well as some problems when unsubscribing to a bunch of feeds.
As usual, feel free to contact us at support at inkzee dot com with any problems or bugs you find. Want to try the alpha? Request an invite here: http://www.inkzee.com.
Thanks a lot for your support!!

God bless the private invites
Hi all,
After some finally tweaks, we managed to push another release today and finished migrating all users from the old alpha architecture. We were so excited, we decided it was time to send some more invites to some more users that have been waiting for it for ages! (We really regret that, sorry guys!).
Suddenly what we can only define as a shit storm came our way. Servers were on fire, even though we didn’t send too many invites. Problem is that our system scales with the number of feeds each users has. Some of our new alpha users are really feed junkies (you know who you are! 
) and really pushed the total number of feeds the system manages really fast. We are throwing some stats so you get some idea:
As you can see, the number of feeds being tracked by Inkzee internally nearly triplicated in a 20 minute span. We are storing, displaying and sorting 32,859 posts right now and growing fast.
In the process of managing such a large amount of new feeds some parts of the backend went belly up. We are investigating it now and we hope we can fix them soon. Even though some things broke, they weren’t critical parts so the system recovered from the failures pretty fast which is good news.
The moment we stabilize the system again we’ll continue sending new invites. Right now we are also focusing in adding new features. The next one in our roadmap will be the ability of creating custom filters and keyword alerts. We hope to release that some time next week.
As usual, thanks a lot for your patient and keep coming, but gently

Invites are here!!
After some dark hours, we’ve managed to unveil the alpha version of Inkzee. It took more than expected to stabilize the platform and we wanted our alpha users to have a not-so-bumpy experience with inkzee.
Currently we have the bare basics and we are working hard to bring new features every couple of days. All the feedback is greatly appreciated and we hope we can have an open version in a couple of months or so.
So, if you are interested in participating in the alpha program or you are one crazy early adopter please feel free to request an invite at http://www.inkzee.com and we’ll send you an invite as soon as possible. Right now we are sending invites in small batches but we’ll eventually send you your invite.

Thank you all for your patient!!
