Recent development status

Published at 9:08. Filed under English version; 4 Comments

I back from my Northwest Expedition in late August and was busying for the opening fo new term, so development and bug-fix works are stopped. Another main reason is due to the lack of interest in using the 7Timer! service, I do not see the neccessity on throwing days and weeks for a giant.

However, recently I receive quite some mails, either domestic or oversea, express their admiration and the wishes to see more features coming out. At the same time, the hits of the website rose significantly, to about 5 times compared to last month (until now). Thus, the development is back on schedule.

These products are being considered to develop or upgrade in near future:

• Weachart (English version) -- forecast chart for dozens of elements. Due to some reasons, only Chinese version is provided, but I'll soon be working on the English one.
• A user-statistic helper to help me improve the service.
• APanel Lite -- with friendly interface and 180-hour forecast period. Some complained that the current APanel is a little bit complex. So this is an "easy" version with much simplified looking (I suppose to be so).
• A cooperation project with... huh, you'll know it soon if all go right!

These are enough to keep me working before 2009! Bugs report, comments and praises are welcome to tom6740[at]gmail.com (manually removed to [at] for @).
