Right now, and even though we enabled new internal features, the current server where the alpha is hosted is too slow for the application and so we are migrating it to a bigger server.

Before we complete the migration, we are finishing some big changes to the way the application works. The new changes will make the application much faster and much more scalable. That way, if the new server isn’t enough, we’ll be able to add new machines to the application and scale horizontally.

The architectural changes will be finished by next week, so the migration will happen very soon and hopefully we’ll be able to send more invitations for the current alpha.

Thanks a lot for the comprehension and we hope everyone had a good summer! :)

Sorry for the recent server blackout. We proceeded with a reboot of the server and it crashed pretty badly. System is back to normal and the webserver and the databases are fully restored.

Hopefully the crash happened before we started handing alpha invites so no user has been affected, nevertheless we are setting up some measures to avoid problems like these in the future.

Thank you very much for your patient and sorry for any inconvenience!

It’s been pretty frustrating as we wanted to push the alpha version as soon as possible but some really nasty bugs kept cropping out and even though it’s a test version we wanted it to be as stable as possible within some limits.

Today we migrated all the development databases to a live server and we installed and configured the system. We’ve been checking that the system is working as expected and that all functionalities are working as the should. Right now we want to leave the alpha running all night to see that nothing crashes and hopefully we’ll start sending invitations tomorrow.

We are very excited about this first version and we hope that in a couple of weeks we’ll be able to start the beta testing with more users. Stay tunned as we’ll post new updates soon.

Once again, thank you all for your patience!
