This Week in Tech at the Treehouse

What we did last week:
- Optimized API for speed and updated several of the APIs as we beta test version 1.2 of our iPhone client
- Moved our API codebase to the latest version of Goliath, and made it easy to update in the future
- Built an admin app that makes it easy to add and edit individual sources
- Added CSV import to the admin app, so a Foodtree admin can bulk upload sources
- Built JQuery Mobile version of foodtree.com, so you can see source profiles and their connections through your mobile browser. The list of sources is sorted by your geolocation

What you can expect when you wake up on Tuesday, August 30:
- Initial functionality for our Store Locator Map product, which includes the ability for a user to create a map for a food source of where you can find their foods
- A new landing page for Local Food Shift, a site built for our customer in Boulder, Colorado. It will begin to integrate their existing site, eatlocalguide.com into its permanent home at localfoodshift.com
- Completed beta testing of 1.2 of our iPhone app and submission to Apple. This is a major update, which includes commenting, the ability to follow other users, foods and sources, improved social sharing, and “add” functionality that makes it easy for early-adopter food geeks to use outside of the farmers market, as well as some UX/UI tweaks. This version will also roll-out Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto.
- Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto added to communities on foodtree.com
- A couple more tweaks at Local Food Shift, including improved UI around adding sources to favorites and nicer pins on the maps.
