30 min downtime for maintenance today

We’re working hard on fine-tuning the live Goplan servers. In order to do that, we’ll have to bring Goplan down for around 30 minutes (possibly much less than that). So today, from 11AM PST (19:00 GMT) to about 11:30AM, your access to the servers may be limited or non-existant. However worry not, we’ll bring it back up right after we finish. As always, let us know should any issue arise, meanwhile or after the updates.

Update: Goplan is back up (and much faster).

A small identity update

Goplan Logo

If you don’t follow our Flickr stream you probably didn’t notice our logo change until the server update a while ago. The revised Goplan identity, based on Emigre’s Triplex is a little “happier” than the previous installment, and gives us a little more flexibility in terms of color choice.

Almost ready to roll

It’s been a long time since we posted here, so an update on what’s been going on is in order. Since we last posted, quite a few bugs have been fixed, and most of the features you guys have been asking for have been implemented. We have pushed all those changes to the live server a few minutes ago.

You may notice Goplan is a lot faster than it previously was due to our new caching mechanism. You will also most likely notice the text ads below the sidebar if you have a beta account. Naturally all paying accounts will be completely ad-free, and we’ll start allowing people to upgrade their plans to paying accounts in the next three weeks, as we push towards the final launch.

We’re getting really close to launch, so any feedback you send now is crucial. If you have anything to say, drop us a note. And we’d love to know how you’re using the application, so if you have a story to tell, send us an email.

Oh yeah, and tasks can finally be re-ordered. We know some of you have been waiting for this change to be pushed to the live servers.
