Hi folks.

We just deployed the new version of the notespark website today, and so far, so good.

Server performance should be drastically faster (10x in some cases) and we’ve shaken out enough bugs from the CVS import and search features to remove the beta designation.

Changes like this always have the chance of introducing new bugs. Let us know at bugs [at] notespark.com if you run into any issues.

We’ve also submitted v1.1 of the iPhone app to the iTunes Store. We’ll post screenshots soon.

We made a few changes to the notespark web app today. Among them:
- There’s a new search bar.
- There’s a setting for how many notes to show in the sidebar at once.
- The “Shared” notes tab now includes notes you’re sharing with others.
- We’ve tweaked the CSV import interface (which has by now been tested successfully with Outlook, Palm Desktop, and Toodledo).

These are things we’ve been working on along with version 1.1 of the iPhone app (which has been taking up most of our time). We’re hoping to submit the iPhone update to Apple as early as a week or so from now, pending our usual rigorous beta testing. While we strive for feature parity between the iPhone app and the web site, we decided it wouldn’t do any harm to roll out some changes a bit early on the web. (That said, we may still tweak things a bit in the next week or two.)

As always, if you have feedback, or run into any problems, please let us know.

We need beta testers for v1.1 of Notespark. This is a quick update with just a few highly requested features (landscape mode, search, and a few more) so the testing period will be short.

Please email us at feedback [at] notespark.com if you are interested.

Hi folks. Just back from the holidays and I have a quick request. If any of you are Palm users and would like to help test CSV import/export to Notespark, please contact me.

Import / Export from CSV has been added to the web version of Note*spark. Just go to your account settings page and access it from there.

If you run into problems, please let us know. We’ve used it successfully so far to transfer notes from Note*spark itself and from Toodledo.
