Its been a while since we last blogged, we have literally been busy releasing new updates on nightly basis loaded with bug fixes, backend improvements, performance enhancements and more.

NovaLet can now multi task as well, this is a great big feature which will make commenting, liking and other options a lot faster since the system will be able to perform them while sending e-mails in the background.

The search engine has also seen a big upgrade and is now able to return much better results (we are not done with it yet).

Lately we have been updating NovaLet on a daily basis, fixing errors, tweaking the performance and improving the general user experience.

An early release after sleepless nights

As we previously mentioned in our last blog post, we have been really busy working on an update we were planning to release next week, but because we managed to do so much work the last 2 days we decided to update NovaLet with our latest codebase which has over 20 bug fixes and system improvements including tuned performance and better HTML Parsing.

A timestamp has also been introduced when Adding or Editing blog posts allowing users to post in the past or schedule one or more for the future by manipulating the date and time now available on the sidebar.

Finally, a new tab has been added on the home page when logged-in called "Interesting" (this name could soon change?), the page lists popular or promoted posts across the NovaLet network.

By the end of this month we will be releasing another big NovaLet update with a long list of bug fixes and overall system improvements. This update will also introduce some new and exciting features that will complement the system really well and will hopefully make the users happy.

Once this is done, we are planning to start working on the content for all the pages on the footer and finally getting a new demonstration video created to showcase NovaLet once again.

The home page has been updated

A simple update on the home page has taken place making the main page a bit more informative and interactive at the same time. Because we wanted to preserve the simplicity of the start page, we opted to employ a user friendly slide-show with descriptive images about the service. This will hopefully offer
a quick introduction to what NovaLet is and what it can do.

We are now working on content that will go on some of the other pages on the footer and developing some interesting features which are soon to come.

A slight colour scheme improvement

It has been quiet here at NovaLet for almost two weeks now, we have all been really busy with different things and never got around to get some work done.

Today though, we decided to update the layout's colour scheme by changing it slightly, the previous colour scheme was more yellow/greenish, while we have introduce more blue into this one, we feel that this design looks more clear.

Ajax functionalities and improved parser

Today we have updated NovaLet with some Ajax functionalities allowing users to enjoy a better experience using the system. It is now simpler to like or share a post while deleting posts and comments are also made easy.

Another update (mainly a backend one) is the HTML parser which is now able to process more HTML tags and attributes including inline CSS within the tags.
