A QuickShareIt Goodbye: 2006-2011

We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of a great product: QuickShareIt

Sadly, today we are officially pulling the plug on QuickShareit. As of today new file uploads will be denied and existing files will be slowly purged from our systems as we shut them down in the next 30 days.

QuickShareIt started out as a project in 2006 to solve a trivial problem: Uploading Screenshots Quickly. It was brought into this world as an Mac OS X Automator workflow and evolved into a fully functioning OS X application shortly after. Once you started using QSI, you couldn’t live without it. We loved it and we made thousands of fans very quickly (especially in Germany…who knew!).

Ultimately, the high costs of managing such a service and the lack of resources dedicated to developing the application to it’s fullest potential are what brought us to today. Other services like “CloudApp” have become very stable and feature rich and QSI simply can not compete. The void that QSI once filled is now overflowing with great options!

Make no mistake: Our main goal at enormego is to build quality products; however, if we cannot give a product the respect and attention it needs, we’re unable to do that and we’d rather not have a product die a slow and painful death (we’re not heartless!).

Thank you to our fans and users and be sure to look to enormego for other great things in the future!

UPDATE 4/11/11: The great guys at CloudApp got in touch with us earlier today and let us know that any QSI users looking to move to CloudApp can use the coupon code “QUICKSHAREIT” to save 10% on any order. It’s a great deal so be sure to jump on it!

Outpost 2.2 Released!

Outpost 2.2 is a fairly nice upgrade for Outpost users and should resolve some stability issues. This new upgrade also includes a great new feature: Full Basecamp Account Syncing.

Getting on a flight and want your entire Basecamp available on your iPhone/iPad while in flight? Just open Outpost while on WiFi and it will automatically sync everything you need! Using Basecamp offline has never been easier. 

For a full list of the changes, go here: http://help.outpostapp.com/kb/version-history/outpost-22-release-notes

Groundwork is now Outpost 2, Available Now!

Outpost 2 is the culmination of over a year’s worth of work since Groundwork 1.0 was introduced to the AppStore in late 2008. Groundwork and Outpost were the first two Basecamp® applications to be released to the AppStore and they did well to compete against each other. However, we always admired Outpost’s beautiful UI and fantastic UX. After feeling like we could do better, we went back to the drawing board and after a few months, Groundwork 2 was born. A completely re-designed and re-developed version. We were proud and users were happy. It was great, but we wanted more and so did our users.

We wanted Groundwork 3 to be huge. The iPad was released and it was our chance to make a big splash…but how? Well, it just so happens that David Kaneda of Morfunk (the developer behind Outpost 1.0) worked across the street from us in Palo Alto. We met up with him and after a few coffee dates we decided that Groundwork 3 should be reborn as Outpost 2.

Outpost 2 is a universal app available for $19.99USD.  It’s optimized for the iPad, iPhone/iPod Touch and the kick-ass retina display available on the new devices.

You can check out a full tour of Outpost 2 over at outpostapp.com, or jump over to App Store now and grab it.

What’s been keeping us up at night: fav.tv

I mentioned briefly in another blog post that we were working on a lot and we still are. We’ve been working on fav.tv for months now and it’s coming together nicely. We’re super excited and we couldn’t wait for our soft-launch to tell everyone about it so we tossed together a little teaser site so users know what exactly we’ve been working hard on.

We came up with a splash page explaining what fav.tv was, but it didn’t do anything. So we asked ourselves how we could give users a little more than just a story. After a little work, we were able to leverage our awesome TV database to create this handy tool that allows you to check when your favorite TV shows are coming back for the Fall season.

Get your sneak peak at fav.tv now!

Like what you see so far? We hope so. If not, let us know: @favtv

Our soft launch is going to be super exclusive, so be sure to put your email down to secure an invite!
