New Pressyo now fully operational

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

As you may have noticed, Pressyo now sports a new look.

The new design is simpler, leaner and cleaner with the emphasis on the content, not the header or the footer. Do let us know what you think by e-mailing us.

Towards a faster loading Pressyo

The old pressyo design weights in at 312,555 bytes, while the new one now weights only 293,815 bytes. A saving of almost 6%. A good thing, considering much of the code thrown away is useless anyway. Also, by using a more standard and CSS-based rendering, we managed to NOT use JavaScript for rudimentary task like centering and rendering, which should be best to let CSS to deal with it.

Why do we sacrifice the rounded corners?

We strive for simplicity in the new design, therefore we think while beauty is important, being lean and fast loading is more important. But who knows, maybe one day we may have the rounded corners back, so stay tuned!

Finally, we hope you like the new design, as much as we like delivering it to you. Happy new year and keep Pressyo-ing!

Pressyo – Public!

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Hi all, as of 7pm last night, Pressyo is public. We have decided that a full blown public beta is the best way to receive feedback from users.

So, you can now register (you will still need to be manually approved), and start using Pressyo. Unsure of what Pressyo does and how to use it? Read the Pressyo Basics.

As one of the creators of Pressyo, I recommend you try a basic strategy first – buy low, sell high. Only thus can you gain enough Yos to be rich!

Server Move Complete!

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

We’ve just completed a massive move to a new server – it’ll take a while for all the changes (DNS, even this blog’s URL) to propagate correctly. Rest assured that while some things aren’t working now – they’ll be working soon.

If you’re wondering why we’ve moved servers – the private beta is now moving into a new phase. If you’re one of the few still waiting for your invite: fear not, we’ll soon have the capacity to accomodate you guys – so look out for those invites in your mailboxes!

UPDATE:
DNS changes should have propagated – you should now be seeing this blog at blog.pressyo.com! If you’re not, then, I guess you have a complaint to file with your ISP. Or possibly country. I wouldn’t know.

Finally, First!

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Hello, and welcome to the Pressyo blog.

After some 5 hours of work, we’ve finally made Pressyo publicly available. Whew! You can now request invite to Pressyo.
