On The Move
Eagle-eyed Realmac watchers may have noticed we recently added a new face to the Realmac team - welcome "Lil" Danny! We've also been looking for a new office, as we're out-growing our current location. Thankfully Dan has found us a new home and next week sees us move to the new location!
Over 15,000 downloads in less than 3 days
RapidWeaver 4.0 was released on the 29th of May at 12:00pm (BST). In the following 60 hours it was downloaded over 15,000 times burning through 550 GB* of bandwidth via Amazon. Our shiny new website had 194,834 page views by 46,830 visitors, 31,770 of those were unique.
Boxed!
Here at Realmac HQ, we often get asked whether RapidWeaver is available in any retail stores as a physical, boxed, product. For a couple of years now, RapidWeaver has been available throughout Europe as a boxed product thanks to our resellers, however that didn't help our American customers - many of whom wrote to ask 'When are you coming to the US?'. For all those who have been patiently waiting for boxed copies to become available: your wait is over as we've teamed up with Smith Micro to bring boxes of RapidWeaver to every single US Apple Retail Store including the Apple Company Store in Cupertino! It's also available at many other resellers, including Amazon.com.
Supporting Acts
With the launch of RapidWeaver, we've changed a few pieces of the jigsaw here at Realmac HQ. One that is of most interest to our users is how we're handling support. Previously, we received all support requests through the HelpDesk and we felt this could use minor tweaks.
We've also significantly improved the documentation for RapidWeaver 4.0 so if you're looking for an in-depth guide to RapidWeaver, be sure to check the Support page to download the new manual in PDF form. You can even pick up a printed edition of the manual (shown below) via Lulu.
Three blogs are better than one.
Welcome to the new look Realmac Software. If you're a regular reader of our company blog, you may have noticed it's now absent from our shiny new site. Don't worry, in it's place are three totally new blogs…
Nik now takes care of the official news at the Propaganda blog, while Ben and Aron will be posting about web development at the WebShed. I however will be writing about software development and what goes on behind the scenes at Realmac Software. Sounds exciting, huh?
I'll keep this post short as I still have plenty to do and catch up on after the launch of RapidWeaver 4.0. Oh and if you're wondering who all those people are that I mentioned above, I'd recommend taking a look at our company page.
