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 […]
Protopage version 3.0 is getting closer! We’ve been hard at work redesigning our interface so that you can do more with your Protopage than ever before (yes, tabbed pages and an API are on their way!). Much of our time has actually been spent designing features for version 4.0 and beyond – so our version […]
For those using Firefox to access Protopage – an important bug has been fixed in the latest Firefox 1.5.0.2 release. This bug, which only affected Firefox users, caused news feeds to rapidly reload and very occasionally resulted in a browser crash. We are very happy to inform you that Firefox have fixed this bug and […]
We’re currently working on an array of new features and improvements for version 3 of Protopage – including an update of the look and feel. Thank you all for the marvellous suggestions sent in so far – Protopage will continue to evolve until we’ve implemented every one of them!
Just a quick note to let you know that Gmail has been having problems with their RSS feeds, which power the Gmail inbox previews on Protopage. Until Google fix this problem, there is a workaround. Google will allow you to access your Gmail via POP3 – and you can enable this feature by logging into […]
You can now embed web pages into your Protopage using the new web page widget. Add the widget to your page by using the bottom toolbar, then click the edit button to enter the address of the web page you wish to embed (e.g. http://www.example.com). You may optionally set a vertical offset or horizontal offset […]
We will be upgrading our servers on Sunday in order to handle extra traffic and to make your pages load faster. We estimate that Protopage will be out of service for up to 45 minutes during this upgrade. We have chosen the time that the fewest users are online, which is Sunday morning. The upgrade […]
Protopage now supports two ‘widget positioning’ modes: Free positioning and Gravity. Free positioning, which Protopage has had since launch, means that you can position widgets anywhere on the screen, and even allow widgets to overlap. Gravity is a new positioning mode which will help you tidy up your page if you have a lot of […]
You can now upload as many photos as you want to your Protopage. Images will automatically be resized to the size of the photo widget – this reduces the size of the photos to ensure that your page loads quickly. To upload an image, go to the toolbar, choose ‘Add widget’, and then choose ‘Add […]
We’re currently working on a new and more colorful search widget – and it’ll give you the option to choose your favorite search engines to appear in the list (Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Dictionary.com, Ebay, IMDB…). Please tell us what your favorites are, so that we can make sure as many of them as possible are […]
