thumbuilderic

Hey all!

Just wanted to give you a quick update on ThumBuilder and the reason for some launch delays.

First, if you're a developer, you'll probably empathize with this. On Halloween night my phone was stolen. This had implications for ThumBuilder as I used 2-factor authentication on my phone to access the cloud host and manage the servers. I'm still working through the recovery process.

Second, I've been taking time to beef up security and reliability of the codebase. I want to ensure that the app scales appropriately, among other things.

Stuff you're more likely to care about
First, after the overwhelming response on the service announcement last month, I've decided to add a feature to export your galleries. It won't be available right at launch, but it is planned for a later release.

Second, I removed a couple extraneous components from the Munich gallery (no preview yet), but it makes the gallery more content-focused. It is now fully mobile-compatible, as promised!

I'm sorry for the delays. I'm REALLY looking forward to launching, and I hope you are too!

Last but not least, if you haven't gotten on the beta list yet, you can do so here.
