Watching Plurker roll out
According to @krazyken04 in this 2008/07/14 plurk,
“Plurker’s private beta just hit 265 signups!”
On 2008/07/10 the Plurker team announced that signups were being taken for the private beta (click here to sign up).
The latest design, according to this 2008/06/?? plurk:
According to this 2008/06/24 plurk:
“The app is for windows only at the moment, and the Mac app is probably a looong way out.”
“I’ll most likely be launching the site with a closed beta announcement, and also sending a plurk in my timeline about it. I’ll let everyone know!”
According to this 2008/06/18 plurk:
“An explanation of why you don’t see a word count in your plurk posts.. I’ll be adding a pretty simple algorithm that will auto-split a plurk between a post and a response if you go over the 140 character limit. So no more manually splitting up your messages.”
According to this 2008/06/18 plurk:
“I refactored a TON of how plurks are inserted into the timeline so it’s WAY easier to do now, which will come in handy when I start letting the users drag plurks to new windows and create filtering windows.”
According to this 2008/06/18 plurk:
“I promise once I get it a bit more stable, and slightly more functional, I’ll let some people beta test the fugly version.”
According to this 2008/06/18 plurk:
“Hoping the latest plurk from Plurker will work.”
“Haha. My API is rock solid. My GUI is not. The message is sent, but then multithreading issues occur and I’m having to deal with them one by one, heh.”
According to this 2008/06/17 plurk:
“There’s a lot of tweaking and prettying up to do…the graphics people are really, really busy though…”
“I may release a private beta version in it’s ugly stage, but there’s just a few more tweaks I need to make.”
“WPF is the shit. I love it. Microsoft has really stepped up since their .NET beginnings, imho.”
“Oi… now to use my asynchronous version of the same API call.”
According to this 2008/06/17 plurk:
“Refactoring Plurker. Oi. How did I ever think I wanted it to work this way?”
“I’m hoping to be able to post from it tonight. And tomorrow I’ll add in responding to plurks…”
According to this 2008/06/16 plurk:
“Implemented image caching in Plurker. It’s just getting snappier and snappier.”
According to this 2008/06/14 plurk:
“Last screenshot, but it’s all tightened up now.”
“A desktop application needs to be multi-threaded, and I’ve created my API with more support for more AJAX or the web requests. As well as given mine the ability to be truly asynchronous with events whenever each method is done making the requests. I’ve seen Ryan’s and it does what is needed for a web API, but I wanted more.”
According to this 2008/06/13 plurk:
“Finished some more updates on Plurker! Responses are now showable, and Karma/Plurks/Responses are viewable.”
According to this 2008/06/13 plurk:
“That’s a pick of the login window and the current Timeline View”
OMG! Lookit ma, I’m famous!
The latest design, according to this 2008/06/13 plurk:
Keith Hanson replied to my “What is that?” inquiry by saying “That is Plurker in it’s currently, fugly state. I’ve created a C# API for Plurk, and will be releasing a WPF Plurk client soon.” And when asked “Are you making the API available?” he said “I plan to release the API once I release the first stable version of the client…I have a feature list that should knock a few socks off and make all this plurking much easier.”
