You've helped shape Flock 0.9.1...now try it out!

Hey Flockstars,

You tell us a lot of things.  I spend much of my day reading your posts on our forum and blog, reading your /feedback messages, checking out your personal blogs, or just chatting with you.  And as much as I enjoy doing this, it's not just for fun.  We're always listening to what you have to say because it's incredibly valuable.  And, we're acting on this feedback whenever possible.

When we opened our 0.9 beta to a group of you a few months ago, we got a ton of feedback. I spent many hours recording and sorting this feedback, and then turned it over to our rockstar development team. ; Along with the hundreds of other bug fixes and improvements, here are some highlights of Flockstar-generated enhancements to Flock 0.9.1:

• The return of the mouseover drag'n'drop sizing buttons on photos in the Mediabar.  There were many, many requests for this. ; We heard you.
• If subscribed to all feeds on a page, feed indicator will no longer be lit and feeds discobar will not appear.  Makes sense.
• Ability to subscribe to Flickr pools (also known as groups).  I'm very excited to have this option.  Once you have 0.9.1, be sure swing by the Flock, Inc Flickr Pool!
• Option to turn off automatic "Mark articles as read" when scrolling through feeds.
• Better visibility of the down arrow on the "back" button in Mediabar.
• Keyboard shortcut for Favorites Sidebar (ctrl+shift+F)
• Keyboard shortcuts for New Blog Post and Open Blog Post (ctrl+shift+B and ctrl+shift+O respectively) Some people just love those shortcuts (see them all here).
• Flock now remembers Accounts sidebar size.

The above highlights, along with several hundred additional bug fixes and feature enhancements for 0.9.1, are a huge step in making Flock a better browser for you, me, and folks who are just discovering Flock.

If you don't see your particular piece of feedback acted on, rest assured that all your awesome bug reports and suggestions are being organized and acted on across this – and future – release cycles. You can submit your feedback via www.flock.com/feedback, post on the forums, email me at the address below or join me for Community Office Hours.

Now that you've seen a list of what you made happen, check it out in action!  You can get an early download of Flock 0.9.1 here. Install, enjoy, and keep on sending more great feedback. It makes your browser even better.

 

Flock on,
