Open public beta testing

Update #11 · Jan 31, 2013 · comment

Hi Everybody,

I say this with equal parts excitement and nerves: today we opened up the hosted version of our platform to public beta testing. We still have a lot of work to do but we really wanted to get people involved as early as possible so here it is. Details, caveats, and motivational Bill Murray speeches here:

This is the reason we ran this kickstarter campaign. This is the thing you all made possible. Thank you so much for believing in us. It's been a long road to get here, there's more in front of us, but knowing we're not alone has made all the difference.

A quick update

Update #10 · Nov 2, 2012 · comment

Hi Everybody,

We wanted to write a quick note because we've been busy and wanted to show you what we've been up to. If you didn't see, we just put out a new release with initial HTML5 embeds and WordPress plugin support. You can read about that here:

http://blog.cashmusic.org/post/34245031041/sneaking-out-a-release

This release is a major step towards the hosted version of our platform, which we're finishing up. We made a roadmap page so anyone can see what's next and even follow along on the development, that's here:

http://cashmusic.org/roadmap/

Anyone who backed our Kickstarter with beta access to hosted should have more news about hosted in their Kickstarter inbox, so if you haven't seen that message it should be waiting for you. And for developers interested in learning more or even helping out, we've put together some detailed developer docs looking at the inner workings of the platform, here:

https://github.com/cashmusic/platform/wiki

That's all for now. Hope you're all well — and as always — thank you for the support!

xo,
CASH

New release today, hosted soon!

Update #9 · Sep 4, 2012 · comment

Hi everybody,

We've been quiet for a while, working heads-down on code, organization issues, and getting ready for hosted. Today we released a new version of the self-install platform and it's a major milestone on the road to a hosted+distributed platform ecosystem.

We did a blog post about today's release here: blog.cashmusic.org

This release was made possible by you guys directly — so THANK YOU! We're still on track for adding a hosted version of the platform this fall and Kickstarter backers at the beta level will be the first to see it. We don't have firm dates in hand, but you'll get testing invites in the next month or so. 

Thanks again for the support, and look for us to get a little more vocal now that we're starting to ship new stuff. Exciting times!

xo,
CASH
