Keep up with the latest news and developments.
Recently we experienced a partial outage for approximately 29 hours due to a server misconfiguration. We did not become aware of this problem until after the site had been partially down for several hours. We worked closely with our tech department to fix the problem and bring the site back up. I apologize to any of you who were inconvenienced by this mistake.
The good news is that we upgraded our servers to handle more traffic. Our site is growing as more people are discovering missed-connections as a great way to meet others. We're also getting more press, more mentions by bloggers and our social sharing grows daily.
While our attempt to beef up our severs temporarily backfired we now have a much more robust platform on which to grow. There is plenty more exciting news coming, stay tuned.
We've just released a string of updates which cover a broad range of problems and issues. We also introduced some new features and tweaked some of our designs. One of the biggest changes is the introduction of Dark Mode. Now, iSawYou will color itself to match your system preferences regardless of what device you're using. No more painful jolt in bed when you wake up at four in the morning to check if anyone saw you on the metro yesterday. 😉
Another big change is the addition of Apple and Google sign-in. If you prefer to use one of these accounts instead of opening an account with us, you're in luck. As a bonus, if you're an Apple iCloud+ member you can use Hide My Email to connect with others without showing your real email address. No more Hotmail accounts needed!
Instead of showing ads we've introduced a donate option for those of you who care to support our efforts. We're a small development team with limited resources. Developing, testing and serving a site like iSawYou needs significant financial resources. Every little bit helps so if you're inclined please consider donating a few dollars to help. We really appreciate it!
Many smaller fixes have been made too. Profiles are greatly enhanced for visual affect and usability; we addressed posting issues involving location; enhanced our FAQ section; updated legal notices; fixed a bug that prevented users from connecting with each other via email; updated search to give better results and much more.
We'll continue to make updates all month so stay tuned.
Hey there, lots of things have been happening at iSawYou this past month. Even though it's summer and we're choking on smoke from Canada, we keep chugging away at new features and bug fixes to the app. Did you know that we've been growing a lot since our launch. I'm not going to publish exact figures but things have really picked up since we launched this new version. You're now a part of it!
I want to call-out Florence1950 for pointing out an especially nasty little bug that affected some people trying to register. Thanks Florence1950!
I'l be back soon to discuss some new features and big changes coming to the site.
It's been a long road but our time is finally here!
Welcome to the new site, and yes, we know it has its bugs but we hope you find it a huge improvement over the previous version.
