  Stixy

  Hi everyone!

  My name is Jonas Höglund. I'm one of two founders of Stixy (Anders Ottoson is my co-founder). I'm doing most of the development, both backend and client side, so I'll try to pay close attention to this thread in the future.
  
  First, I would like to thank everyone for trying Stixy out! We are really amazed about the speed Stixy has spread, since we invited the first beta testers last week. We started with a small number of testers (only 30), since we just had migrated to a new server and wanted to see that the system and everything else was working properly. Due to the nature of Stixy's invitaions, and services like Tangler and inviteshare.com we now have 1000+ invited users!!! And as far as we can tell, everything is holding up pretty well so far.
  
  If you are one of those who signed up for our public beta at Stixy.com, and haven't received an invitation yet, it's because we still have only sent out 30 of them. We wanted to wait to send out more until we knew the system held up (as I said) and we also wanted to wait until we had implemented our new authentication system. Which is in place now!
  
  If you already have an account at Stixy, please be aware of that you need to reset your password before signing in, due to the new authentication system.
  
  Talking about the new authentication system... We would love getting as much help as possible of finding possible bugs related to it. If you want to help out, try as many things as possible related to your login/password (like signing in with the wrong/right login/password), setting the "remember me" checkbox when signing in, changing the login/password under the Personal Settings section. Etc etc.
  
  I will now try to answer some of the issues mentioned above.
  

  1. Clickspice had problems uploading a wav file to Stixy. That should work just fine. We currently have a size limitation, though we don't communicate so anywhere. The size limit is set to10 megabytes. Could it be that the size was too big? Or that the file was corrupted? Or that the mime type was corrupted? Can you upload another wav file?
  2. In respect to how to create a link inside a note. We know this one is anything but intuitive at the moment. We hope to have a better solution for it soon, though I should be honest and say that it's not at the top of our list of prioritized fixes.
  3. When it comes to the bug that clickspice had where auto save doesn't work  ("auto save 20, 19, 2, 1 , 0, -1, -2 now up to -163"). This is a known bug, but I have only had it happened in Firefox myself. I have had an hard time to track it down, so if I can get help finding a case where one can reproduce the bug, I would be very greatful. I have been able to reproduce it in one case (but I know it happens in other cases too). The case where I was able to reproduce the bug is if I start to upload a document or a photo and cancels the upload (by deleting the widget), the auto save (or the save all together) doesn't work anymore. Can someone else reconfirm this? We are using flash for all file uploads (if the user has flash installed), and it seems to be related to that somehow.
  4. For the same file that couldn't be uploaded from both IE7 and Firefox. That should not be a problem. One should be able to upload files with the same filenames, without any restrictions. Can you please reconfirm that it's still happening, and if so, give me some additional info.

  
  We have also created my own Stixy group here at Tangler, to be linked to from stixy.com. It's located at http://www.tangler.com/group/12394/discuss. Now I just need to figure out how to get it on to http://web20.tangler.com. I have three topics in the Stixy group (Bugs, Features, Misc). Since I'm new to Tangler and not sure what the best practice for this is, I highly appriciate any help or pointers on how to set up an efficant group (or how to get us on to the web 2.0 page).
  
  Many thanks!
