Ourah! After weeks of development, pxCream went in Beta 1.0 today! A lot of improvements and changes. I tried to list them all here:

Cosmetic changes have been done to make sure that all pages are now clearer and easier to use and navigate through. The application architecture has been re-designed so that it’s easier to deploy new functions.

First user / beta tester to join pxCream, Tey (a.k.a Flufftreacle) has joined the service uploading his 3 first pictures in the last few days.

Feedback is always good. It helps us to improve pxCream according to what our users are expecting. To do that we needed a good system to get the information from you, users. Because even trying hard, we can’t get in your brain.

So we have a couple of discussion groups on Tangler where you can tell us everything.

Click on the link to go to the discussion page or have a look to the current discussion in our “Your Feedback” topic through the embedded widget.
