Test new features

http://www.panoye.com/images/panoye_logo.pngYesterday I introduced the first of the new features on Panoye. Here is a full list:
  • Import from URL,
  • Six stars to rate panoramas,
  • Uploads of non-orientated panoramas,
  • Anonymous users can now comment on panoramas, but not rate them. Comments are (re)CAPTCHA protected so spamming will not be a problem (I hope ;),
  • Better algorithm for "popular panoramas",
  • Bigger image uploads: now max image size is 9000x3000 pixels and 2megabytes in size,
  • Server cacheing for pages, so now most pages should load faster,
  • + many more minor bug fixes...
The new Panoye version will be online soon. But, for those who can't wait, here is a secret link where you can temporarily switch to "test mode" and try it all.

Import from url

Due to popular demand, I'm currently working on a few new features. One of the most important is "Import from URL" feature on Panoye.

If you have a lot of panoramas somewhere on the web and want to share them on Panoye - You had to download to your PC and then upload them. Two steps for something that should be one step.

The new feature is called "Import from URL". It will be available in your user menu:

All you have to do is to enter the URL of your JPEG image:

 http://puzz.s3.amazonaws.com/2008/09/panoye-import-panorama-from-url.png

And then the magic happens... Panoye will retrieve your panorama directly from the URL!

This new feature will be online soon. Stay tuned!
