As is the case with every release we like to provide a mix of new features, bug fixes, and enhancements. A few weeks ago my team added something new that will be an ongoing focus for us as we grow: performance. For those of you who are frequent TripIt users we hope you were pleasantly surprised as you signed in November 1st to find your pages loading much more quickly. Our benchmarking shows that the UI is as much as 60% faster. In our next release you should see a significant performance improvement as well.
We understand that performance is a key component of usability. As as we've been building feature after feature as fast as we possibly can, performance tuning has not been something that we have had the luxury to spend much time doing. Instead, we have done our best to ensure that we architected the system for future tuning and scaling. With a large and growing user-base, it's time to crank up the performance knob and scale the application to meet the needs of our community. This is extremely exciting for my team because every engineer loves the opportunity to squeeze performance out of a system. To work on performance because so many people are using what we've built is even better!
