More informations about SteekR V2

January 22, 2008

The new version of SteekR, that we call V2, is still in beta (http://beta.steekr.com/).

We have developed this new version to simplify everything and primarily to improve the usability of SteekR. All the improvements we have included are driven by the feedback of a significant number of our (more than one million) customers.

The general design of the main page of SteekR has been modified in order to provide more room for the files and also to put all the main functions together:

V1:
Steekr_usability_2

V2 beta:
Beta_steekr_usability

For example the menu bar is now more explicit: easy functions are clearly labeled with more easily understood icons:

V1: Steekr_menu

V2 beta:
Beta_steekr_menu

Sharing files is much more faster and easier to remember with the new V2 beta. The sharing window with V2 beta is displayed on top of the page without any page reload like with version V1. More options are offered to the user: An information reminder (”Share the selected files with friends or create a sharing widget”), the possibility to add title, direct access to permalink and the style of the share (folder or slideshow). We definitely think that sharing is one of the main feature of SteekR and the usage will be increased with the new functionnality.

V1:
Steekr_share_2


V2 beta:
Beta_steekr_share

We have also improved the usability of the player. The new player is more readable and easy to use. Along with sharing, we also believe that streaming is also a major feature of SteekR and deserved improvement:

V1:
Steekr_player

V2 beta:
Beta_steekr_player

Some new features are also added inside this new version like the “Create a widget” feature that allow the SteekR user to display his file selection on a website or a blog.

V2 beta:
Beta_steekr_widget

Lastest information: This version V2 will be ready when it’s done ;-)
