Switching servers
Folks, I’ve finally got some good news for you on stability. I took some time and re-wrote some of the hazy parts of Listhings core code that dealt with real-time communication and sharing. I know, I know, I was super-excited too when I got it all running last year using a technology called APE. The thing is, time has moved on and newer, much more reliable technologies have surfaced. So, I re-engineered most of the hazy parts now to newer technologies, such as Socket.IO (and WebSockets, eventually, which will hopefully make its major come-back soon). But that’s just one part of the good news.
The other part is that we are currently switching our servers. This process should finish within the next few hours. You should not notice the transition in any way, actually. All your notes will be there and you should be able to log in again in a few hours time.
“What’s in it for me?” you might want to ask. What you will get out of this is more stable and reliable service that does not go down daily.
I hope I’ll have some more good news for you soon enough :) Stay tuned.
