Lovely Charts

First of all, let me apologize for the terrible lack of update this blog suffered from, let’s keep it short and just say summer was busy :)…
But anyway, Lovely Charts is definitely NOT dead… Actually, there has been quite some work accomplished on the upcoming Lovely Charts public beta over the last weeks, and I can today proudly announce it’s coming reaally soon.
Amongst the things that were done it’s worth mentioning the backend has been completely overhauled, notably in order to accomodate best a new, unforeseen (at least for V1) rather highly desirable, (set of) feature(s): diagram collaboration and versioning!
I know I said previously this wasn’t going to be implemented for V1, but, pretty much by accident, a recent code check of the previous backend architecture made me realize some of its weaknesses and the pretty upcoming need for a deep refactoring exercize if I ever wanted to implement things like collaboration and versioning, so I figured, why not do a one stone, two birds operation and implement both the new backend and these new front-end features! The result is absolutely very cool and I must admit I’m very impatient to see my first customers trying and out and start collaborating within the Lovely Charts environment, I can’t even believe I even thought of relasing a V1 without it :)
