VirtualSushi Work In Progress

Online for two weeks – en.dorse.me – new features

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jef @ 10:25 am

The past two weeks have been very exciting ones for us at Virtual Sushi. We learned a lot and a bunch of courageous users did use en.dorse.me, some of them as creators of endorsement campaign, most of them as providers of feedback on those campaigns.

Every day of these two weeks, we streamlined the en.dorse.me application, we changed some existing features and we added a bunch of new ones.

Here is an overview:

  • The entry barrier for registering has been lowered by showing just five text fields in stead of eight.
  • A lot of CSS tweaking was needed to make every page a nice one
  • JS validation was added to the html forms of the most important pages (registering and feedback)
  • The “Feedback Request Generator” now shows all your Twitter followers in stead of just the first 100
  • “About” was added to the site
  • “FAQ” was added to the site
  • Some filtering and sorting was added to the “Campaigns” page
  • The “View profile” and “Edit profile” links were activated
  • The quantity of feedback entries was added to each campaign on the overview page
  • When creating a campaign, users can now use an inline WYSIWYG editor
  • When adding feedback, users can now use an inline WYSIWYG editor
  • Inline help (?) was added to the most important entry fields
  • Campaigns can now be saved as “Draft” which makes visible only to the creator
  • “Feedback moderation” was added to be able for campaign owners to remove unwanted feedback
  • en.dorse.me has an API!!! Feedback entries on campaigns can now be downloaded as xml documents or json objects to make them available outside of the en.dorse.me shell

A lot of stuff remains to be done before we can actually move into public betat on the first of September.

Todo stuff:

  • Testing the app on other “Grade A” browsers
  • Adding plenty of nice campaign icons
  • Adding a few very nice campaign templates (css)
  • Should we change the look and feel?
  • Extend the API. Adding feedback should be possible from ouside the en;dorse.me shell (Facebook, Twitter, widgets, …)
  • Activate campaign spreading through Facebook and LinkedIn

Why don’t you try it yourself? Describe your idea and ask the world for feedback!
