Haikus and RSS feeds - they were meant to be

RSS now works! View public, friends, or search feeds! What a great feature.
That’s right! We now have working RSS feeds for all sorts of pages on the site. For example, let’s say you want an RSS feed that shows any haiku containing the word “burrito?” Easy!
What if you want to stalk a particular user - someone who has incredible wit? Also easy!

Feature requests
We’ve heard from some of our users about requests for features and fixing of minor annoyances. We hear you!

Beta Testing Open!
Alright, we opened up beta testing this evening to a small group of friends who are busy pounding away on the website. It’s exciting! And great to listen to everyone’s feedback and suggestions!
Also, there are some top notch haikus being written as well. Can’t wait to see what people will wind up writing as we move forward!
Slowly, but surely...
I think the website is nearly feature complete for now! As development starts to wind down, we’ll open it up to friends and family to beta test.
And then launch it. Yes!
Another Sneak Peak
Working on user profiles this evening. Here’s what we have so far! Currently, shows where a user is from, how many haikus they have written, when they joined, links to some other social network profiles they might have. Planning on adding links to friends and favorites lists as well.
Sneak Peak!
Screenshot time!
