SDR! iPhone / iPod touch Web App Launched
So, while showing Super DVD Robot! to my friend, Nick, this week, he immediately asked me “is it formatted for iPhone?”. At first, I didn’t understand the question. Mobile Safari (the iPhone browser) renders pages pretty accurately and therefore there really isn’t a need for an iPhone web app “version”. But then, as I watched him use the site, I got it....
Coming Soon...
I’m too lazy to keep a traditional “developer roadmap”. Instead I keep an organized task list and stick to the due dates and tasks. No feature creep! Posted via email from Super DVD Robot! Blog | Comment »

New Theme! I call it... "two."
So I was working on a freelance gig and thinking about doing some stuff for my day job and this just sort of came out of it and wasn’t appropriate for any of those things, but felt very good for Super DVD Robot! Also, I realized that the way I coded the site together, I already had a built in theming system. So this went from PSD to SDR! theme in only a couple of hours. This is cool,...
First Big(ish) Update: Here's what's new and what...
I’m gonna call this version 0.5.1, I think. I fixed a ton of things and made a lot of changes that I wanted to make a while ago. Most of the fixes and changes are under the hood, but I’ll still go through what’s different and what’s better. Better Search Searching is a huge element of Super DVD Robot! as it is currently the only way to add movies to your collections and...

Support!
The new support system is up and running. Powered by Tender (www.tenderapp.com), which is really nice. We can track things a lot better and interact a lot quicker and effectively than using GetSatisfaction or UserVoice (oh snap! no he di’in’t!). Yes. I did. Moving along, let’s get into the info.You can access our sexy new support stuffs at http://support.superdvdrobot.com Did I...
Call Us! (Not really)
So, not sure why you’d ever want to call us, but in the event that you just HAVE to call us up to tell us how terrible we are, you can now do so.Our sweet number is (540) 328-0285 And yes, it is power’d by Google Voice, meaning we will likely reply to SMS messages more than anything and merely skim through voicemails, unless its something urgent. The plan is to convert this to some...
COMING SOON: The SDR! Marketplace
You’ve been purchasing movies for years and, let’s be honest, when you mull over your collection, there are some regrets. Did you really need to purchase ‘I, Robot’? Is that ‘300’ purchase looking like a solid buy, even after seeing it on TNT every single weekend?Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a tool to help you offload the excess items in your...

Progress Report I
So things are going good. You can now do the following.
Login (using Facebook Connect)
Add a movie to your collection
Tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll finally decide how I want the search to work and that will be good. For now, I can’t decide how I want to do it. I’d like the entire experience to be able to operate without having to move through too many pages. While I like a search...
We got a Tumblr!
Actually we always had a Tumblr, but now we plan on using it to post things that aren’t on the Twitter, as well as just collect stuff together.
You’ll probably want to just follow this and the Twitter to keep informed on everything that’s going down.
