Tweet It’s been rather a long time since our last blog post and UserVoice activity – prompting some customers to get in touch to ask: “What’s going on? You don’t write, you don’t tweet… Are you even still alive?” Tl;dr answer: Yes, we are alive and yes, we most certainly are continuing to maintain and [...]

Tweet Almost a year to the day that we wrote the first line of code, PlayNice.ly has entered public beta. Woohoo! With that, we have a few announcements.
Tweet PlayNice.ly will launch into private beta in just one week. When a painter has decided a work is complete, the last layer they apply is varnish for polish and protection. The concept has become an institution with events like the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition. It holds a Varnishing Day prior to the doors opening on [...]
Tweet As you know, we’re big fans of Redis. Along with other NoSQL datastores, Redis is changing the way web apps are built. With its lightning fast performance and easy scalability, we reckon Redis should be at the top of every web developer’s list of up-and-coming technologies.
