Survey Builder 0.1 Released

Filed under: Software Development — shannah @ 12:08 pm

I have just released Survey Builder on Sourceforge. Survey Builder is an application that allows you to design and host surveys using pure HTML. It is the first application built with the new Xataface 2.0 look and feel.

Check out the sourceforge project at https://sourceforge.net/projects/surveybuilder/

Sourceforge Much Improved

Filed under: Software Development — shannah @ 5:47 pm

I just went to start up a new sourceforge project for the Survey Builder application I just created. I guess it’s been a while since I created a project because the system is total different than it used to be. Much more powerful it seems. They now give you a blog, issue tracker, and wiki (as well as version control if you want it) which is all that I generally need. A long time ago I decided to move most of my project stuff off of source forge (except for the download hosting) because their facilities were clunky and slow.

There’s still time for me to reform a negative opinion, but for now it all looks good. I may not even set up a separate site for this project at all; just do it all on sourceforge.

Xataface 2.0 Preview Photos

Filed under: Software Development — shannah @ 6:13 pm

I’ve been putting a lot of work into Xataface getting it ready for release. There are still some details to take care of, but I think it’s safe to say that this release will be a drastic improvement over any of the previous releases.
