Learning from mistakes

I’d like to apologize everyone for today’s Nozbe login problems. For a couple of hours many folks couldn’t log in to their Nozbe account and some couldn’t use Nozbe at all.

Apparently there was a problem with our SSL (secure server) configuration, which under certain circumstances just stopped displaying the page

Although we spotted the problem very quickly, our engineers had hard time finding the right configuration to make sure something like this wouldn’t happen again.

We’ve found a fix and everything is working properly now… and the server is configured perfectly. Of course your user data has been been safe as always.

I’m really sorry we didn’t communicate this with you. I’ve received many emails asking what is wrong and expressing concerns about Nozbe being down.

We are really crazy about Nozbe uptime and we’re making sure Nozbe runs smoothly every day

...and we’ve been so proud Nozbe has been running without any hiccup for so much time, we even didn’t prepare any channel for communication with our users in case of emergency to let you know that:

1. we are aware of the problem
2. we are working hard on the fix
3. you have nothing to worry about – your data is safe

I've got a Nozbe T-shirt for you!

You response to last episode of the 2-Minute Productivity Show and my call for T-shirts has been great so I decided to try something new:

I’m going to give away free Nozbe T-shirts…

...to anyone who upgrades to a 2-yearly Nozbe payment plan until Wednesday, 27 August!

Just go to the Nozbe Signup page and upgrade today.

What about the shipping costs?

If you order a 2-yearly plan until Wednesday, we’ll send you the T-shirt at our expense. We’ll cover the T-shirt cost and the shipping cost. All we’ll need from you would be your desired T-shirt size and your shipping address.

Sizes available: S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL

(since we’re shipping the T-shirts from Europe, please allow 2-4 weeks until the T-shirt finally reaches your home. We’ll be preparing the shipment of T-shirts in batches, so the faster you order, the quicker you’ll get your T-shirt)

To get your T-shirt as quickly as possible, act today

My crazy T-shirt Guarantee

If you decide to upgrade to a 2-year Nozbe plan – you get a T-shirt and a 30-day money-back guarantee. If for any reason you don’t decide to keep Nozbe, we’ll part as friends, you’ll get all your money back and I’ll let you keep the
T-shirt!

Why am I offering this? Why am I risking so much?

This is how deeply I stand by Nozbe and I’m just sure you’ll love using it. All the risk is on me – you get to keep the T-shirt – I’m so deeply convinced you’ll love Nozbe so much.

This crazy T-shirt offer expires next Wednesday.

So what do you say?

[Preview] iNozbe for the Appstore coming soon to your iPhone

I’ve received lots of emails from your asking if there is a possibility of moving our great iNozbe to a higher level and offering not just a web-based iPhone app, but also a native iPhone app.

Native iNozbe coming to your iPhone very soon!

That’s right, we’re currently working hard on a native iPhone application for Nozbe and it should be ready very soon. We’re aiming late August/early September.

Here’s a screenshot of the actual app we’re working on (subject to change as we advance in our development):

Highlights of the native iNozbe:

• Available in the Apple’s Appstore for free (with the same limits as your current Nozbe account as to the amount of projects/contexts/etc. you can create)
• Will sync seamlessly with your Nozbe account through your iPhone’s Internet connection (3G, Wifi, etc.)
• Blazing fast – small file footprint, will use iPhone’s database to store local data

Hope you’re as excited as I am and hope you’re looking forward to it. Make sure to post your feedback/suggestions in the comments below.

As I said, the app is in the early stage of development, but we’re very motivated to pull this off in the shortest time possible. I’ll keep you updated on the developments.

Colorful Projects - take 2

Wow, this small “colorful” feature gave us quite a headache this week but finally we’ve brought back the feature after some thorough testing in all the major Browsers like Internet Explorer 6/7, Mozilla Firefox 2/3, Safari and Opera.

Giving your projects some color

To change or set a color of your project, just “Edit the project”/“Create new project” and you’ll be able to choose a color:

...and then you can see this project on the list in a different color:

Going back to default color

There is a nice trick we’ve introduced if you want to change your project color to your default Nozbe theme: just double-click on the color button and your projects color will revert to the original state.

Other updates

P.S. We’ve also silently introduced a way to change your email address with Nozbe (before that you had to contact support) – just go to your “Settings” page and click to do an “Email Address Change”:

...and you will be emailed with simple instructions on how to do it.

P.P.S. We have some great features coming up very soon, so stay tuned… and they have something to do with (you guessed it!) iPhone
