Most of you already know that we have been working hard on getting the API ready for people to use. Unfortunately, this also resulted in rewriting and refactoring big chunks of the existing Shizzow code to get it ready for the API.
Tomorrow, Sunday, January 10th we will be taking the site down at 1pm to deploy a bunch of changes. Plan for Shizzow to be down from 1pm - 2pm; however, if all goes well, the downtime will be much shorter. Because so much of the code changed, we’d be surprised if we didn’t introduce a few new bugs for you to find. Think of it as a Shizzow hide and seek project this week. Those bugs are hiding out there somewhere, and your mission is to find them!
Here’s what we need from you:
- As you use Shizzow on Sunday and Monday, please find a few of those hidden bugs and log the issues for us in Get Satisfaction.
- We will be opening the API up to a few beta testers soon. Please contact me (dawn at Shizzow.com) or leave a comment on this post if you want to participate in the private beta for the API by building an app using the Shizzow API. We have a Shizzow Dev Google Group that we’re using for developer collaboration, and we would love to have a couple more people looking at the API beta.
