What a week!

So, there’s no flood of users, or flood of push for that — just a flood of development to make things better and more kickass. Since last week we added a great way for users to add games to arcades, put a light barrier to entry in place for editing arcades through the process of claiming an arcade, added exception notifications (just emails us when something goes wrong), automated deployments, made all html valid and worked towards a faster yslow rating and of course. The last development push will be to create a good iphone version of the add games page. This will be used while walking around arcades to add games, so it’s important for it to be as easy as possible. Lastly I’ll work on making the homepage more focused, which should help users to get started.

Having the site up and functional is a great boost to working on it though. If anyone is finding it difficult to find time to work on a project, I’d suggest spend some time to deploy a working copy and get it out there. :) There’s more incentive now than ever before to make fixes and improvements.
