Diveboard feature updates : Activity feed settings

par Ksso le 13 avril 2012

When we launched the activity feed a few weeks ago, it was a bit rough on the edges but we had to see it live to understand how to make it really useful. Getting one step closer to this goal we have now added a settings pane to the activity feed, which can be accessed through the wheel, top-right to the feed.This settings pane will let you understand what you are following and will give you recommendation as to chat may be of interest for you regarding your diving history. Hope you find this useful !

par Ksso le 26 mars 2012

A couple updates this week, most are under the hood, but one has quite some impact : a better friend picker.

We added pictures to your friends (even those manually entered, as long as you provide an email and that they have a gravatar picture)

Facebook friends search are showing your friends first and then a list of "other" people

If you enter a friend's email, he can be notified by email that he has been tagged in your dive (coming to diveboard and facebook later)

We also finally enabled the "publish to timeline" function. If you want your dives to appear on your timeline, head to the Dive Manager, select them all and apply the "publish to timeline" function - do not fear, if a dive was...

Diveboard feature updates: Pictures & activity feed

par Ksso le 14 mars 2012

Two big addition to the service today (well actually yesterday).

A new high definition lightbox for your pictures.Now that you can upload your pictures to Diveboard, we added a gorgeous way to showcase them with that newly designed lightbox.It does it all, show the location the picture was taken information on the species tagged in the picture, and comes with the support for high-resolution pictures and videos.To get there we had to reprocess all your pictures, in most case we still had access to the originals but unfortunately in some cases we didn't ... so we had to upscale the larger resolution we had (but using smart filter so it should be ok...)The lightbox comes with its own...

TheBlu : A socially connected ocean screensaver

par Ksso le 8 mars 2012

A few days ago I got an email from TheBlu, a strange company with an all-start team of advisors and founders which spent the last few months crowdsourcing 3D models of fishes. They were announcing a relaunch with their new product : an interactive ocean screensaver. The least I could say is that this announce sounded highly puzzling. So I grabbed a copy and gave it a try.and... WOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHH !!!!!After installing it on my Mac (and discarding an awkward installation error message) I launched the screensaver only to stumble into a real dive simulation. For the next half hour I found myself following fishes, clicking on them, changing views and just getting that feeling and excitement...

Diveboard Feature updates: explore, plugin and navigation

par Ksso le 13 février 2012

This monday brings in a complete redesign of the "explore" page. The previous version did not reach its goal: letting users browse the variety of scuba spots and see what fellow scuba divers have experienced diving there. It's not perfect yet but definitely brings us closer to that goal!The new explore should be fairly simple to manipulate with a large map showcasing the dive spots and a left pane listing what's on the screen: dive spots, divers who've dived there and dives logged in that area.When clicking on an item in the left pane, an info pane will open giving you a summarized version of the element you clicked. If you wish to see more you may navigate away and see a logged dive...
