VeloBase.com – just about there

August 14, 2007

Yes folks, I’ve been entirely too busy lately working on the website to even update this blog about it.  I’ve added quite a bit since the last update.  Tools to calculate gears, front fork geometry, added the elusive Visual Search capability (at least in a limited function), and the component and user list has boomed! 

We now have over 300 components, submitted by many of our nearly 100 users.  I’m not sure on the photo count right now, but considering all components have at least one photo and many have more, I’m guessing somewhere north of 600 photos now in the database.  I have also slowly been adding the the Glossary and the Resource Links pages.  There are a few new Catalog Scans as well to download and view.  I’m hoping to get some new Articles added to that section of the website soon as well.  Just need to find some willing writers! 

Over all the development has gone smoothly.  A few browser specific problems, a few complete and total goof-ups on my part that slipped through my limited testing and out to the website.  My members have been great in pointing out problems and understanding that I’m a one man development force getting this up and off the ground.  But the ball has gained momentum right now, and the site is at a point now that things are more or less finished.  There are a few other features I would like to add, and will add in the near future.  But everything right now is functional.  As far as I know anyways.
