Alpha version of Things finished - Screencast available
Finally! This has taken us much longer than anticipated. But now our preview version of Things is ready. We are sending out invites starting today and will have provided our 10.000+ subscribers with a preview of Things by Christmas.
Why has the alpha taken so long? As we put it recently in an interview on edit.xtreem.iappblog.com: “We worked incredibly hard to make it simple. I cannot remember how often we revised it significantly, even completely starting all over again.” Indeed, we didn’t pile feature upon feature, but instead worked hard on constantly revising the fundamental approach to make it simple without compromising scalability.
Ian Beck from tagamac.com created a wonderful screencast of Things. Watch his screencast and take a look at some of the initial responses of other alpha testers.
And if you are wondering what Things will cost when it is finished? We cannot be too specific right now, but suffice it to say that it will compare favorably to some recently announced prices from our competition ;-). Introductory pricing? You bet!
