So we have hit our predetermined threshold of Alpha user far quicker than we had anticipated, due mainly to some unexpected press coverage here and Twitter. We are also thrilled about being very close to feature complete for Version 1.0. This being the case, we are now going to go into our next phase of our launch, a semi-closed beta. This means a few things for end users:
- We are moving from a 1-100 to a 1-1000 scale. This gives us a little more granularity in our rating system and will also hopefully get away from the idea that a 60 is failing, similar to a grade.
- Current users’ functionality will not change at all
- We will be accepting new users through invite only
- Invites (for now) will be available by submitting your email address on the front page
- Sometime in the very near future, we will begin releasing a controlled number of invites a day out into the wild.
This has been a particularly exciting few days for us here at Divvs and we will use the next few weeks to scale our systems properly so that we can move to the next phase, open for business.
