We’ve had a some interesting discoveries during the closed beta cycle. As well as the feedback we’ve received from other users, trying it out ourselves and observing other trip members use TS has been very exciting/scary. With that in mind I thought we could share a couple of things we’ve learnt.

Flow through a website is hard to understand without actually clicking through web pages. You can make a site with the best features in the world but without a user being guided through the relevant aspects of it, it’s useless. Either that or you write an instruction manual for your website, which I bet someone has actually done at some stage.

Even though it should be a given, and we designed TS with simplicity in mind, it’s the easiest thing in the world to add things you dont need. Particularly in Photoshop where the main mission is to add things to the page. Its only now that everything is alive, so to speak that we now want to kill a few things!

However, we’ve been lucky in a sense that most of these discoveries have been smaller issues, and since we are pretty lean right now these things are easy to change.

Harmonypark is doing a great job with the code, and we are excited about the Expensure integration coming soon along with a full public release.
