A lot of progress was made this weekend. As a result, I’m working on the final few things I have on my list and then I’ll release. I still haven’t opened it up to my small cadre of beta testers, so they’ll get the first whack at things to help prevent glaring mistakes from going unnoticed.

Right now I’m working on a way to keep old urls working. The only place it’s critical–if it even is–is the detail pages. Right now the urls look like this: /detail/{ASIN}/{number}. The new urls are like this: items/detail/{number}/. I’m going to make some 301 redirects from the older urls to the new ones. The problem is that the new urls make no use of ASINs. I’m working around that.

The new Rankforest is both less expensive and more expensive than the current version. I’ve noticed that the majority of users track a single book, so I’ve created a plan that’s half the price of the current $6/mo to accommodate that. The prices go up from there and I’ve tried to fit the pricing schemes with actual usage patterns.

Back to work
