It’s time to trot out the next pony. Sometimes we announce one with a bang – like hugster, or quackers – but this time we’ve been working a bit more behind the scenes on the new release we call Bubbles.
Like all our releases, Bubbles is a pony, maybe even two ponies as it looks like there is a “baby bubbles” that matches the big bubbles – and that is appropriate as we are percolating the release out onto the site in belches and burps over the last few weeks. So far we’ve fixed about 40 bugs with this release, changed our host, and added several new features (some of these you might have seen in the last few weeks):
- ideas.43things.com (more on this in an upcoming post)
- goal thesaurus – the beginnings of matching similar goals together (again, more on this feature in an upcoming post)
- who cheered you (or Erik) – now on your profile page
- a full web services API and a Ruby library thanks to Pate
- a hidden 43 Things store
- newly Ajax-ified tags
We’ve got at least one more burp of bubbles in the next week before we retire this pony. We’ve got 3 more ponies in the works: next up Wavedancer, Whizzer, and Tootietails . . .
So, does the ability to look at cheers mean more stuff for my r43 to-do list?
Not yet. There aren’t yet any web service methods for retrieving cheers… but if you want it, I can add it.
Where is the hidden store? Will it ever be unhidden? Can I shop there?
What do you mean about a hidden store?
Sorry for my misplaced commentary earlier. Where would such a thing have been directed and in the future can you notify the commenter that it was innapropriate and removed?<br />

Yeah, I think it would be cool to add a cheers object and methods to the API.
