Performance optimizations and automatic return linking released

Monday, December 4th, 2006

A few of you have written in about Firefox using some extra CPU time. We’ve just released a set of tweaks that will increase performance and lower CPU usage to zero when the page is idle. We’re also working on further improvements including a new caching layer which will decrease page load times. We also […]

All tab issues now resolved

Friday, December 1st, 2006

We’ve had a few bugs related to data migration, tabs and sharing/importing of tabs. All of these issues should now be resolved. We have now made it impossible to lose widgets by preventing tab deletions unless they are empty. We have run a script so that any widgets from any accidentally deleted tabs should now […]

V3 fixes released

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

We’ve had a rapid design session, and made some changes to the interface in order to make things clearer. The number one cause of confusion has been the new tab system. We had not made it clear that tabs migrated from the previous version of Protopage would be placed in different categories according to whether […]

V3 Help

Monday, November 27th, 2006

Please note that you can click the ‘twister’ to reveal more categories. This seems to be the most common reason for not being able to find tabs imported from your old Protopage.

Get your Protopuppy!

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

Until recently, much of the design of Protopage has been in flux. There have been several major aspects of v3 that we have redesigned twice over after receiving feedback from test groups. We have also made the decision to extend the functionality beyond our original plans. Earlier timeline predictions required guesses as to how many […]

If you have an RSS or ATOM news feed that requires a username and password, it will now work inside Protopage. If it is not already, please ensure the feed URL is in the following format: http://username:password@example.com We will also support secure http (https://) feeds when version 3 is released.

Protopage v3 update 2

Friday, August 11th, 2006

So, how is version 3 going? When we started working on v3 back in April, we had a roadmap of features for Protopage versions 3, 4 and 5. It became clear that in order to allow for the more ambitious features we have planned for future versions, we would have to create some common infrastructure […]

Much of our time has actually been spent designing features for version 4.0 and beyond – so our version […]
