New circle owner controls

By popular request I just pushed a new feature that allows owners to change the type of their circles from the edit page.

You can freely switch back and forth between "open", "normal" and "private" now at any time.

I'm gonna take a break on new development for thanksgiving week to hang out with my family but once I get back to work, expect some long needed changes to the widget to start to appear, like the ability to limit the number of posts to the X most recent, and new support for merging all of your circles into one place.

Have a nice holiday!

Yikes!

A recent change to fix a bug caused a much more annoying bug, that actually caused us to crash a few times in the last 2 evenings...I think I have it squished and things ought to be back to normal.

Email invites

By popular request we now have the ability to send invites to join your circles right to the email inbox of your friends.

When they sign up following the link in your invite email they will automatically be added to your circle, so you can see when they've joined.

Also I fixed a race condition that causes some circles to stop refreshing feeds after a while. Props to the unschooling circle for discovering this :)

Changes (more options and styles) are coming soon to the widgets, so keep an eye out on this blog for details!

Back to work!

I'm back to work now after a short break to deal with some family issues.

Expect more posts, and more features coming soon!

Thanks for your patience and support during my absence.
