Long Time No Update!

Hi all,

Just a quick update from FeedHammer central... (it's been a while)

2013 has been a great year for FeedHammer - the platform has proved really stable - usage has been increasing at a constant rate on both the mobile and web platforms (I'll release some more detailed stats later).

I dipped my toe into the world of advertising - mainly Facebook - which has seen an increase of like for the Facebook page, and hopefully helped to spread the word a little about the app. Got more of this planned in the coming year (and if you haven't checked out the Facebook site yet - please give us a like!)

Had some more great reviews - added some more data feeds, and tweaked the website a little.

There wasn't much new feature development in 2013 - due mainly to changing jobs/location and having no internet for the last few months of the year.

However - all this will start to change in 2014 - as new features and improvements come on line. The main one is one I've been working on for a while - which is changing the whole data access layer from Spring JPA to pure Spring Data. While this will be invisible to anyone using the system (hopefully) - it does make the codebase a lot lighter and easier to develop moving forwards.

Once that's in place and deployed - I can focus on adding more features and functionality! Watch this space!

(and if there are any features you'd love to see - or have any feedback on things you like/don't like - please let me know!)

Cheers,
Ade
