Final round of true beta invitations just sent

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Peyton Stafford here. We sent the final round of invitations to people who volunteered to try the “true beta” version of GTDInbox Plus Beta. We have been collecting error reports and narratives of our brave volunteers and plan to begin releasing new versions, next week.

We will probably have to release a rapid series of updates as we fine-tune our code to eliminate loading and other errors. These next releases should become trouble-free enough for people who declined the true beta stage to try.

Please keep an eye on this blog and on the NEW sign in the left sidebar of GTDInbox for more information.

Best,

Peyton

First Batch of GTDInbox Plus Beta Invitations Has Gone Out

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

We sent email invitations to about 50 previous donors, inviting them to upgrade to GTDInbox Plus Beta. They must have been waiting because they started installing GTDInbox Plus Beta within minutes. We are now contacting them via email so we can make sure their upgrades go as smoothly as possible.

Once we work through any glitches that they encounter, we will send another batch of invitations. If you haven’t already signed up for the upgrade, then follow this link to the GTDInbox Plus Beta Waiting List and sign up, now.

GTDInbox Plus Beta Feature Tour on YouTube

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

If you’re curious about the new and enhanced features we’ve added in the first release of GTDInbox Plus Beta, take a look at the GTDInbox Plus Beta Release 1 Feature Tour we released on our YouTube account!

The features include:

  • Expanded Archive Button –archive, mark as spam, delete and move to next (or back), plus more, with one click.
  • Reply to Self — add private notes to conversations and send yourself tasks quickly (it’s back and better than before)
  • Send and… button — easily change a conversation’s status (and/or mark it End Of Message) when you send a reply
  • Enhanced magnifying glass for one-click email processing
  • Collapsible labeling box to increase screen space
  • Improved community messaging
  • Enhanced Review Box with enduring popout and popup for faster reviewing
  • Plus account access button
  • Revised Preferences (formerly Options)
  • Semi-automatic error reporting system

Early reports from beta testers tell us they love the features. The enhanced Archive button and the Send and … button in particular speed up email processing and correspondence. The first beta release was unpolished, and we are preparing an update at the moment, but the concepts are sound so it’s just a matter of working out a few minor software glitches.

If you want to sign up for the beta release, here’s a link to the beta release sign-up page.

We also published a video guide to installing GTDInbox Free. If you want to refer a friend and get them started on GTDInbox, then this video can help.

We are planning on a series of  “how to” videos giving more detailed looks at various features, as well as at the overall GTDInbox proactive email workflow. We will announce these in future blog posts.

Enjoy the videos, and let us know what you think. We’re always open to feedback!
