All invites are caught up.

I didn't get one yet :(. Should the email be my iTunes one? Or the one I use for TestFlight?

As for the API, I'm not sure yet. Depends on what's available. Maybe a simple Windows UWP app just to view them to get my feet wet, then see what else I can do later.

Yeah, I've been checking my spam folder as well and nothing. Nothing is set to delete and no manual filters have been added. I can't imagine it's coming from shadier places than these fake jdate e-mails, but I can supply a different e-mail if you think that's the issue. Have other yahoo addresses given you issues?

So the good news is I got the beta invite an hour ago :woop:

But now it's asking for an enterprise cert that I don't have. So... not sure what to do here.

EDIT: I see it in my profiles, but it's not working. But I'm on iOS 9 Beta 4, so I'll blame that :shrug:

EDIT 2: Never mind, got it working. I'm a dumb dumb and didn't register it :doh:

Double tap the circle to move that object to the front, that's the only arrange method so far though until the next protip comes out

This is the correct way of ordering. There's still a few bugs with certain elements not respecting the order, but otherwise, it works without much fuss.

:burger: Update!



So, we have a brand new version of Byte out that removes timelines, profiles, and following for something simpler and more pure. It's Byte: Websites Jr.

Bytes are now standalone screens that you can name whatever you want. Bytes have the ability to link to other Bytes (think: hyperlinks). Navigation feels more fluid. Worlds have been deprecated.

This is very WIP and very beta, so expect bugs, crashes, and incomplete features.

On top of that, we've started working on an OS X client, so now you can view Bytes on OS X. We’ve even got Drastic Actions (from this very thread!) working with may turn into a Windows client.

Once you have a client installed on iOS or OS X, byte:// links will magically come to life.

byte://welcome
byte://super-mario-byte
byte://pizza

:coolspot: Links:

iOS Beta: Sign up for access
OS X viewer: Download

* creating a Byte is still iOS-only, but we will change that soon.

FYI: The OSX client does not seem to work on 10.11 Beta 6. At least not for me :(. The window pops up (but with no Icon in the dock, which is weird) but no matter what I do, nothing will run. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong :shrug:.

Also you might want to limit names of bytes to Alphanumeric characters, because it does not seem to work with Unicode. The names save, but you can't use them as entry points. Or maybe make them two separate fields (Name and link) and make the link only work with Alphanumerics.

EDIT:

I am enjoying the new layout and workflow of Bytes! It is nice to just scroll through a bunch of them at once. Kinda sucks not having the worlds and that sense of "Community", but as a free for all it's nice.

Also (null) ;)

Try downloading the OS X app again and replacing the build you have. We had a test build up for a while, which has some new functionality, but caused the icon to be hidden and some other stuff.

You're absolutely right about the names. We're going to limit the names to alphanumeric later today or tomorrow, and come back to Unicode at a later time, because naming Bytes with emojis is :cool:.

I really hope someone at your office (or you! :v:) saw my Bytes and went "Man, gently caress users." The minute I saw an open text field, I had to try and break it. It's just in my nature.

HOPEFULLY these tools (and a few other ones coming in the next few days) will let us self organize and build miniature communities that way. byte://goodbytes is an interesting use case for that.

Try this link from the post above, or you can wait for a couple of days and we'll transition existing testers over. Sorry about the confusion, we're transitioning between the old and new system at the moment.
