New release brings further improved usability
Published July 21st, 2005 edit replace rm!
I have now updated various minor usability issues throughout the site. Thanks for your feedback.
Main change now is that the “Edit Web Services” page has been simplified in some respects and made a bit more logical.
Before it was organized with Web services by the fairly geekish “Asset Type”, which I realise was confusing.
Now it is organized by web service instead. The concept of “Asset Type” is way to geekish to take such prominent part in the gui (See my article The Snowblind Solopreneur). This will now be part of a whole new developers area.
Now when you use the bookmarklet it does not ask you for the user name or password (or web service id) to start with.
Now you enter it (and change it) via the before mentioned “Edit webservices” screen. If a web service requires authentication it will ask you for it.
On a much lower level (and more technical level) authentication data is now associated with the web service and not with the asset. This solves a concern I had about possible future security issues. I needed this solve before letting people plug there own web services into it, which will now finally make it into the next release.
