The iNexus

I recently posted about the new site project (Carpe Nocturn) that utilizes Drupal to create an integrated and in my opinion immersive new site for Infinite Nexus. Now I’d like to take a moment to illustrate one of the great aspects this will allow.

As the title indicates, you (the user) will be able to have an influence on what occurs in development of our products. When I feel there’s a competing set of features to be developed a poll will likely be put up on the site and registered users will then be able to vote and directly influence what ends ups being worked on and what gets deferred to the next release. I’ve already got the first poll in mind for Compare Folders!

The past year was an incredible one for Infinite Nexus. dotMac Menu is doing well and works on Tiger and Leopard, DriveGauge started a new prototype that rocks, and Compare Folders 3.0 finally arrived, bringing great strides in performance and usefulness. There’s even a plugin architecture in CF 3 so others can extend it.

In addition, participation in MacSanta the past two years has also brought in new users who might not have found any of the iNexus apps otherwise. But there’s been a product I completely ignored, and knew it.

The website, by and large, has remained the same since I first created it in 2003 or so. Forums have come and gone, and this blog was added, but nothing substantive shook the foundations. Over the last few weeks I’ve set out to resolve this disparity and I’m quite pleased with the results.
