Happy New Year!
We are currently reengineering the service to some new web technology and making it more scalable. It will be a few more months but what we have right now looks really awesome.

Big Blowback
AT&T for whatever reason decided to not allow outside access to my server on the DSL network at home. So we are currently reengineering the app to be more scalable and work with Amazon's cloud and/or Google's AppEngine.
Stay tuned -- it will rock...
PS: Not to be discouraged I am using the alpha now for months to manage my books and I am having a blast :-)

Back to Beta
We had a big presentation to the team the other day and the product though already useful didn't meet our internal quality criteria. So we are back to closed Beta -- which means you can still get in our closed beta. Public beta is now scheduled for the end of the month.

Coming together
After encouraging results from our ongoing closed beta we are planning to open the public beta up on May 1st. Please stay tuned for the announcement.
We have also started in assembling an advisory committee who knows books and libraries better than we do. If you know of someone who might be interested to join and work with us please let me know by sending an e-mail to info@libridi.com

Recommendation Screen
This week was really exciting for me. Besides the queue (where we pull the status of your books from the San Diego Public Library) I got the reservations to work. Now you can reserve the book you find in one of the previous screens. But that's not enough -- the system will also recommend similar books to you:

What's that for reserving books at your public library. Libridi really rocks. We still have some spots open in our closed beta -- so please sign up.
As you might have suspected the release got pushed further out again -- we are now thinking about mid April.

Login Screen
Every great application let's you log in -- and this is especially true for libridi. After all you want to save the books you find with our search function in your queue.
So check out our Login Screen here:

We are especially proud about it overlaying what you are currently doing -- we still have some work to do (e.g. you might need a "close" button in the top left corner) -- but otherwise it works really great.
Don't forget to sign up for our beta. We are changing the way you will use your public library!!
