we:

• Design
• Code
• Product
• Cloud computing and server configurations

But here goes.

I havent updated this blog for along time. Lets start off with some official stuff.
Things are doing good for devunity. we released a full support for svn, you can now perform commit/update/checkout using devunity, so if you want to create your devunity project from svn checkout you can easily. it works! we will be also redesigning the devunity interface and cutting back on some useless features you guys dont use pure product work. also, we will be releasing a ‘Quick Colab Dev Project’ feature next month that will let you create a quick collaborative project with a quick registration, just input your svn details, user and pass (twitter or facebook also) and it will automatically auto generate your project and give you a unique url to email to dev peeps to start interacting.

Thats all for this ‘Official’ announcements from your host.

Lets talk about twitter. yes twitter. We have been working on a nifty app called talker.co.il for some time. its a full fledge gui for twitter using their api with sophisticated caching and optimization engine for the api calls. We basically built the ONLY framework code for building twitter applications. Will any of you be interested in using our code for that? its based on symfony framework at the bottom with EpiTwitter and oauth for authentication and api work.

We were elected as 10 most promising startups for the year 2009 by the financial magazine themarker.com! Horray to us! meet us at the themarker.com com.vention event at our booth! Code geeks ahoy!

Just a quick note to let you know that i’m reading all of your bugs and feature requests. We are handling everything and we’ll upload a fix pretty soon. Thank you faithful users for reporting the issues. keep on!

Cheers,

Alon

I almost forgot to update, we won the Mini-seedcamp competition last month and told nobody! how uncool is that? so hooray! we won!

Hey all,

Some of you wondered where we went, we didnt go anywhere, we were busy at work fixing all of your reported bugs and feature requests.

here are some updates:

• So yes, from the title you can imagine we are currently launched in silent mode to open alpha with alot of bug fixs and feature addons and removes also. anyone can signup now to the service to use it as free edition.
• Speaking of, We will launch our premium edition services by the end of this month including all of the Subversion tracking full support and lots more for affordable prices. keep watching the frontpage for updates.
• We tweaked the design a bit, darker, cleaner, keep improving, let us hear your thoughts about it. do you want color schema selection?
• Sandbox mode! no need to signup to test drive the editor, there are alot more functionality outside the editor such as the community and project management but we wanted to show off the editor, you can signup for free to enjoy the full potential of the devunity platform after playing with the sandbox project.
• Also, we will release a cool feature called devunity.com/university, its an experiment to let you people build and watch interactive code screencasts, you will be able to watch screencasts and code with the screencast at the same time using our devunity university platform, later on we will let you build online screencasts tutorials, Teach people how to code online and much more.
  but for now we are only featuring ones that are licensed to us. if you got ones, let us know at info@devunity.com and we’ll push them online.
• Just a hint. We are starting to experiment with our marketplace with a twist at http://www.workforoptions.com. It just went up, test drive it and let us know what you think. Early users get free accounts. go for it.
• <!– end –>

So, it hasn’t been that long since we announced some new features and viola we got few more to pile up.

• First thing first, Firefox!!!
  We release our new Firefox add-on, the addon after installed lets you synchronize your project files to a local directory straight on your local computer, you can choose where to sync your files, everything will be under folder for each project you sync. 

  you can now Write ruby, php or any other language, direct your local apache or ruby or any other webserver to that directory and test files locally.

  You can now fully test your code and other peoples code without any problems. If someones saves you will get his updated copy straights on your local computer. 

• Full file and segment permissions,
  Now you can truly keep your code secure, Invite coders to a specific piece of code, lock all of your code, share some of it. set read write execute permissions on a file or a line of code to any of your developers with ease from your file section. its really easy and it enables you more security and control over your project. Lock core files, let users edit your template or fix bugs where you want while keeping everything secure.
• Packages packages packages!
  We added lots and lots of code libraries for you,  CakePhp, Dojo, Meebo, Textpattern and many more, Same as before, click to add, no brainer. enjoy.
• Search for projects,
  Yes, we are aware that the tags are growing insanely out of balance because of alot of projects being created. You can now search for projects on the community page without having to browse the tags section, Find your project flavor by searching for it, ask for permission and start developing socially!
•  Bug fix dejour!
  We are reading and implementing all of your feedback and bug reports, everything is being read and fixed and new feature requests developed. Its now your chance to tell us what you are missing in devunity so we can add it. Click on the feedback button on the top of every page to inform us. 

We are really excited to see people are starting to put more and more code into the community, Share more code! thanks lucas for this wonderful code.

Well, we are all really excited here to see the responses and feedback we get from you all.

One major request is that we add ruby support, No problem. We will be rolling out a major update next week with ruby support and much more!

Keep checking this blog for updates, we got a major surprise for you all that requested to debug code offline (hint hint).

Here are a few notes from the tc50 event:

1. what presenting companies i loved and why
   * Tonchidot for a good product which was not very innovative in technology but innovative in the way they implemented existing technologies in a smart and beautiful way. and a good laugh.
   * Shryk because i saw how they started in the early rehearsals and what they accomplished at the end. amazing work. smart idea and very innovative.
   * Yammer because i use it from the second they released it.
2. what demo pit companies i loved and why
   * Iamnews for the idea that people can control the media in the years to come. and for the people that run it.
3. what details of the event i loved/liked about the event
   * The fact that they disqualified certain companies that attended the event. Good job.
   * I really liked the rehearsals part, i think if companies could get even a week of intensive rehearsals it could be much better.
   * I really liked the after party on each day hosted by different companies. makes you do some layed back networking with the staff and people.
   * The amazing venue. Big, spacious. Easy registrations, for 1000+ event there were no long lines.
   * Tyler,sarah,jenny,jason,tanya for doing an amazing job getting everything to run smoothly as possible for the presenting companies and everybody.
4. what details of the event i would like to see improved
   * More sitting areas
   * Better cab service. maybe do an arrangement with some town car company so people can car-poll back to the hotel and from it.
   * More restrooms.
