Making some changes

We’re in the process of releasing a new version of Fleck. Not a redesign, but we will change some of the functionalities of Fleck. I’ll give more background on the changes once we’ve released the new version.

For now we’ve put some new changes live that I like to share with you:

- We changed the look and functionality of a fleck entry in your timeline. The title of a page will link to the original URL and in case a note has been you’ll see an external link icon that will lead you to the same page with the note(s) on top of it.
We’ve had feedback that most of the times people just want to see the page and not interact with it via the Fleck overlay. The main title is the the first thing to click, so instead of linking to the Fleck overlay, we will send you to the original page.

- You can instantly see in what group a page has been saved.
We like to stimulate the use of groups. Sharing interesting stuff within groups makes your use of the web more efficient and interesting. You also get a lot less emails in your mailbox, as we’ll aggregate all things that are shared with you in max 1 email per day.

- The tools page has less options, the Fleck plugin for Firefox and the Flash overlay bookmarklet are no longer being features on this page (moved to extras).
Most people use fleck to store interesting websites and don’t make use of the ability to put notes on top of a webpage on a specific place, they just want to make sure they can find the website again, no matter where they are. The Flash overlay is really useful for e.g. web developers and designers, but when the plugin or flash overlay bookmarklet is used, you pay the price because it just takes longer to load a page.

And oh, we came across some bugs, so we thought it would be nice to fix them as well (thanks for all feedback).
