New Feature: Select week days

Hi there!

Now you can select which day of the week when Dropial APP will send tweets for you. It's really easy to configure:

When adding or editing a Schedule, just select the checkboxes corresponding to the days you want to drop tweets.

Also you have a couples of presets: Business days or Weekend. Even if you have selected a preset, you can edit any time.

Enjoy it!

A couple of bugs solved

We had a couple of important issues but now are solved!
The first one prevented people from UK to start their schedules in the system. The problem was that the system was checking the UTC offset and the zero value wasn't allowed. But UK TimeZone is valid and is UTC +0.

The second bug was stopping the schedules that had problems with drops, but didn't send a email to the user to notify. Now the system sends 2 warning email when a drop is forbidden by twitter and tells you which drop had the problem. Thats why is important to validate the email address. We are going to get a better UI to show if a drop has a problem, but meanwhile please validate your email.

Thanks!

What's coming new...

We are Starting Up, and we believe Dropial APP is going to grow every day thank to the users.

In the first post of this Blog, we said we want to specialise in a specific feature: Send tweets as a Loop. Actually this is Dropial sense and there are some enhancements to do. So we are going to develop some features to improve Dropial.

It is no written in rock, but some enhancements will be:

• Drag-able sorting of drops
• Schedules with "day of the week"
• Start an schedule automatically on a specific date
• Drop with random order
• A log screen to see what's going on

Every one can suggest a new feature. If it make sense why not? Be part of Dropial APP

Describing Dropial app a little bit

In this version 1.0, you need to know two concepts: Drops and Schedules. The Drops are the contents you want to tweet in your account. The Drops will be dripped according to Schedules.

You can set as many Schedules as you want. You can set a start and end time for every Schedule. Also you can set a frecuency of drip.

You must have a minimum number of Drops in the Schedule, enough to drip for a week. The system will check if you have created enough Drops to let you activate the Schedule. This is useful for tweets that you may have looping for a long time, for example as tips to your followers, referencing your Web page or Blog.

Another interesting feature is that a Drop can have expiration date. Thats mean you can add a Drop that will be dripped till certain day. For example a new uploaded video can be a dripped for a week, so configure a Drop with the link setting the expiration date for a week.

And as we said in the last post, you have a URL shortener embedded.

New feature: URL Shortener

This is the first upgrade! At this time not having a URL shortener makes no sense right? That's why URL shortener was the first item in the roadmap.

It's very simple to use. Just write the body of your new Drop and then put the actual link in the text box below. Then click "insert". The short URL will be appended to your text body.

Enjoy it!
