Singly – New partners; Game on!

It’s officially out today — we recently closed a $7m Series A round led by Foundry Group!  We’re writing another post (out soon) on why we are thrilled with our new investors, what value we have already seen them start to add, and why we raised a round of this size.

Until that post, for everyone who comes here, we want to get the word out about our first Official API hackathon where winners will walk away with $10,000.  To support our push for a simpler, more personal web, we’re putting our energy into being the most loved, developer friendly product and company in the market.  If you are a developer, join our mailing list, follow us on Twitter — even come work out of our office (see our Facebook page).  This is just the beginning.

Open for developers

Last week we opened our site up to developers with Github. Since then, we’ve had hundreds of new accounts created and an outpouring of feedback. Rather than tell you about it, we’ll just show you a few comments we got on Twitter over the weekend:

 

The next weeks and months are going to be exciting here at Singly, so check back often for news about our platform :)

Usability testing

Yesterday was the first day of usability testing for our new user interface. We’re excited to have some outside eyes exploring our work.

Our first two test subjects, @jfred  and @alecperkins, provided some outstanding feedback, and over the next ten days we’ll be gathering loads more. The outpouring of developers interested in participating was quite flattering, and we’re looking forward to later reaching out to those whom we couldn’t schedule in this round.

In addition to finding out what people think of our product, we’re thrilled to be building relationships with the very developers Singly aims to benefit.

We’re doing the testing both remotely and in-person, using a few different services.

For in-person tests, we’re using Silverback, which records the screen and clicks as well as a webcam video of the tester.

For remote tests, we’re using join.me to share screens with testers and record their clicks.  We’re also using freeconferencecalling.com to record our phone conversations with testers.

We still have availability for tests, so if you are a developer and you’re interested in participating, fill out this form.
