TubePress 3.0.1 Released

Posted by on Mar 31, 2013

On the heels of its release candidate, TubePress 3.0.1 is now officially available for download.

This is primarily a maintenance release that fixes a handful of significant bugs. But TubePress 3.0.1 also introduces a faster, more modern JavaScript implementation. All TubePress users will get a free boost in client-side performance, and TubePress is now less vulnerable to bugs in other scripts. In plain English, this means that your site will load faster and will be less buggy.

Please report any issues with this version in the support forum.

Thanks for using TubePress!

TubePress 3.0.1 – First Release Candidate

Posted by on Mar 13, 2013

The first release candidate of TubePress 3.0.1 is now available for download! Along with several bug fixes, the highlight of this release is a leaner and meaner JavaScript library. Client-side load times will be significantly improved due to lazy script loading, and TubePress should be much less vulnerable to bugs in other scripts loaded alongside it.

While we have tested it extensively, we do not recommend running this version of TubePress on production or busy sites.

Thanks for helping us test!

Introducing TubePress for Wix

Posted by on Jan 30, 2013

 

Today we are delighted to announce our newest partnership that introduces a radically new way to use TubePress. As an “app” in the Wix App Market, TubePress is now available to the millions of Wix websites. No download required!

What’s Wix?

Simply put, Wix is an online platform where non-technical folks can build gorgeous and functional websites. Wix features a drag-and-drop interface, a large template library, and a focus on the latest web technologies such as HTML5 and mobile-ready designs. As of this writing, Wix customers have created a stunning 26 million websites on their platform.

The Wix App Market

Near the end of 2012, Wix introduced their own App Market – much like the app stores of Apple, Google, Amazon, etc – which opened the door for 3rd-party developers to bring their products to Wix users. With a few dozen apps so far, the new App Market is growing rapidly and includes apps from big names like Shopify, Instagram, and SoundCloud.

TubePress Pro in the Cloud

Here at TubePress we saw the Wix App Market as an opportunity to reach a huge new audience of site builders: customers that would rather not manage a WordPress or PHP based site. So we installed TubePress Pro onto a couple of cloud servers and registered the service with Wix. Voilà!

The TubePress app for Wix is point-and-click simple to use. No downloads, no installation, and a fully graphical configuration that even your grandmother would find fun! But don’t let all this simplicity fool you – TubePress for Wix is just as powerful as the downloadable versions of TubePress and TubePress Pro.

We encourage you to head on over to Wix and try it out for free!
