We've been testing the next version of nonlinear and there are even more changes for the better:
Super-solid performance. The flake factor is going from flour-less chocolate cake to sponge toffee
Quicker load times. Imported files will load faster.
Smooth drawing. No jaggy lines or high latency - just smooth lines for easy drawing during a presentation.
New price. At $4.99, it makes it easier for people who are budget-conscious but appreciate being able to give nonlinear presentations to purchase the app. For those who bought the app at $9.99, you are brave souls who put a lot of faith in nonlinear. Thank you. I want to make sure that you get a continuously improving experience and that one day you can proudly tell your great grandkids that you were one of the first to get nonlinear.
And the one I'm really excited about...
DROPBOX INTEGRATION! That's right. You'll be able to load in files from your Dropbox account wirelessly. Dropbox has created some very generous technology and we wanted to make it easier to use this with nonlinear.
In What Technology Wants, Kevin Kelly described the creation of new technology and this process has manifested itself very quickly in nonlinear's development. There have actually been 5 versions of the app (not all were released) and many internal incremental versions. Also inline with Kelly, you can look out for some news ways of being able to help advance nonlinear.
And as was suggested by Guy Kawasaki in Rules for Revolutionaries: CHURN, BABY, CHURN! We started with a frail app and now we're looking at something really exciting.
