Tripigy - Live Release

[firefox]

Yeah we've identified this as an issue. The engine uses a reverse geocode from google. We're currently trying to work out if we can "FORCE" it to only use AU locations instead of global.

The find a place location was the only engine that doesn't use our internal Geo spatial platform. (as we don't have all the locations listed..) it's an issue and were definately going to have a fix on it before the next release..

hi Fuji,
actually no one has found that one, and i can't seem to replicate, could you possibly email support@tripigy.com with the details and steps you took (as well the browser/device you were using.)
We'd like to try and replicate.

Hi JD
I have sent support a photo which shows the problem?

Hi Guys,just an FYI we're offline tonight now for major server upgrades. Need to deploy some new servers and get some more ram ..

Mobile platform as a BETA release should be this week. I'll keep those watching up to date.

So for all those playing around (and there's alot of you) and the team tripigy member's.. We've been doing a bit behind the scenes.

Fixed a number of the bugs, things like (typing texas) now shows texas australia and not the USA..
Fixed so you can now blog without the need to have a trip plan.
Plus much much more.

We're working hard on the User Interface and you will see lots of changes. We've also deployed additional servers to handle the load which is nice, so it should be a little faster.

Now for those interested the ALPHA release of the Mobile Platform is available.

On your Mobile device you can go to http://mobile.tripigy.com (from there you can save this to your desktop as a home app) on all devices.
People will love the mobile platform as it has the new authentication model, which means authenticate once only! (Yipee)

I should note the mobile platform is in ALPHA (for those that don't understand this) it means that its in very early release. The functionality is mostly there, BUT the User Interface is requiring major updates. THe good news if you save it to your home screen as an APP you will get live updates all the time.. (so no need to update).

Feel free to have a play around, the Mobile platform i figured is for people to play with. The Tablet edition (which has full screen map view and lots of cool features to use whilst in the car travelling) is nearly done as well. It has similar features to the Mobile platform.

Enjoy.
Cheers
Justin

Hi Everyone,
So yet again the MYSWAG family gets the first taste at the new platform.

There's been alot going on, unfortunately probably not enough, but all good things take time.

I'm excited to announce the release of the Tablet Edition of Tripigy. This has been built with a new UI, lots of new mapping features as well as a number of additional features not seen in the other 2 User Interfaces.

The tablet interface is best viewed on a Tablet in Landscape mode, but can also be used on the desktop. (and i am betting because of the new MAP UI.. people will use it on the desktop alot.. for research.)

Also this now includes single sign-on, so you'll only ever need to logon to it once..

You can load it right now (still in a public beta) but completely usable..
http://tablet.tripigy.com

Even better on your tablet, you can add this as a home screen app. And it loads in a full native screen interface. If you don't know how to add a homescreen app let me know.

Feel to free to play around, we've also removed a number of "painful" features after feedback, and we've also added a number of nice new photo and other features.. So much more to come...

PLUS   
You'll never need to update this app on your tablet.! Yep the updates are all pulled live.. So as you features come live you will be able to see them. Note: that Tripigy is a Internet based solution, you need an Internet Connectivity to use Tripigy on any device (it's not offline), but plans over time will come for this.

Must confess to not understanding a lot of what you write about this flash web site you made but I'm thinking it looks great. Lots of features I don't understand, the important bit of typing an address and then lots of places showing up is great. I get that OK.
I hope you can make a few $ out of it.

Hey Justin, the link doesn't download as an app.  Just a web page.  I don't understand sorry

Hi KB
       from the above (my red colouring in) it looks like it is not an App as such and is used via your web browser.


cheers

Thanks mate, I did read all that

Our apps are what they call web apps.

View them in your browser on the tablet then click the add bookmark. There will be an option to add it to your home screen. This will add an icon to your desktop like a normal app. It will also run like a normal app then.

We decided on this approach, as you can run it on any device. Yes you are correct you can even run the site on your desktops.

[KingBilly]

Thanks mate.

I'm new to this tablet stuff but enjoying it immensely

Seems to work on my old lap top with XP on it. 

[firefox]

Hey daver thanks for that I don't think we ever tested that. But in theory it should work. The reason for taking the webapp approach was exactly that. You are not limited by the technology you run.

We've found some bugs in the my trips section which we need to look into with the devs, btw.

Thats great to know. My old laptop has XP as well, but work like me to call it my "work" laptop. Apparently it is still good for another 4 to 5 years so just keep adding bandaids to it to keep it going.....

When I get home from work I will try it on my Surface pro tablet and see how it goes. Thanks for the update Firefox.

[Isuzumu]

Great stuff Justin, thank you.

[firefox]

good news, devs this morning found the my trips bug (was a backend server issue) so thats fixed now..

[fuji]

Thanks mate, just added to my homescreen on the iPad.

Typo on the front page:
Tripigy - You're Outdoor adventure starts now

Should be Your.

Hi Guys,
for those starting to use Tripigy on and off, all our Interfaces now have single sign-on to each interface.
When logging on, just click the save for this device/desktop.. You'll never get asked again unless you logout.

Note: you will also need to logon at least once in each interface. It's not shared across the tablet interface or Web/Mobile.

Few other updates and bug fixes gone in, please feel free to keep letting us know of issues.

Database is growing each day.
Cheers
Justin

So... It was June and we announced our release to the wider public and myswag members.

Today we've been working really hard with a bunch of guys to upgrade the servers and launch the new site. So guess what it's LIVE! and ready to go and best of all FREE!.

There's going to be so much more for those friendly Myswaggers out there.. But for now i'll post into this thread just to let everyone know.

So we've launched a completely rebuilt web framework. (http://www.tripigy.com)

We've also released an interim tablet interface that runs in the browser (http://tablet.tripigy.com)

And yes we have (NATIVE) apps being launched into the Google Playstore and Apple Store. (Android should be there in the next few hours.)

We are so excited about this current release, but even better is whats coming. All those cool, awesome features are on their way over the coming 2 months. And we are just so excited because it will help everyone get out and enjoy the great outdoors.

Feel free to post any questions to me, and i will try and answer them. As you can imagine we're getting through most issues and the content behind Tripigy has now significantly grown.

We will also be running some competitions soon to win prizes including trip's as well as gadgets etc.

Hope you've been enjoying a weekend away and you've just got back.! (Time to upload a blog onto tripigy and tell others  )

It wouldn't open using the 'mobile' http address on my android.  I have registered but couldn't login on my phone.
In the app store the app is $2.49, so i guess now it can't be used in the phone browser and the app has to be brought to use it? 

[firefox]

hi moose, yes you are correct. there is small fee for the native app. the platform has cost over 40,000 to build. the web site tech which is fully features is free. and we recommend registration online.

at the moment the native apps do not need user accounts, however we will be releasing another version on friday that has some of the user features. there is about 5 major feature releases to be done on the app.

The web technology will always stay 100% free and the apps in the stores will be a very small fee.

Apologies if there was some confusion.

We decided to set a very low fee on the apps at the moment, as there is basic functionality. However if you grab it now you will get all the features as the updates come through. By december all the core functionality will be there.

Ummmmm.
How do I drive it?
Is there a guide for complete numpty's?
I was trying to put a post code in, then have a map view and look around the areas. Obviously, I am doing the most simplest of things wrong, but umm, How?
