WriteMaps v2 is coming soon!
It's been a while since I've blogged on here... apologies! I just wanted to post a quick update about the next version of WriteMaps which is well underway!
The feature requests have been rolling in and I've been talking with individual WriteMaps users to see how people use the app so that this next release will address common needs. Above all, there are a few features that are in clear demand among WriteMaps users. They are:
- Wireframing: Beyond the url and notes fields, there's not much you can do currently for planning each page's content and general hierarchy.
- Page colors and/or icons: Being able to distinguish single or grouped pages in a sitemap is handy.
- Company branding: Giving your sitemaps a custom look and feel with your logo and colors.
- Import/Export Options: Saving and opening locally saved files. Also the ability to import XML sitemaps would be handy.
- Performance: Loading large sitemaps can be quite slow depending on your computer and browser
The good news is I've got several of the above features working quite well in development (though I won't say which... ). I've also tackled a multitude of minor bugs here and there and just might even have a new interface underway as well!
Stay tuned for updates as I'll probably post some screencaps as things start shaping up more. Thanks again for using WriteMaps and as always, please hit the contact form if you have any suggestions, requests, or questions!
