New Version of Trip Planner Launched
uuellbee
surface, it doesn't look much different from the previous version, but
“under the hood”* it has changed significantly. Moving forward, it
should be easier for us to add new features and fix any issues that
come up (and issues are sure to come up, as you may have noticed
already).
We'd love to hear your feedback on any aspect of the trip planner--
what features we should add, what doesn't work for you, etc. Please
keep in mind though that the trip planner is a complicated beast and
we have very limited resources with which to make improvements.
That brings me to the next topic, which is byCycle's financial status.
Since the start of the year, we have only generated $151.60 in
revenue. At this rate, byCycle is not going to be “in business” much
longer. We are looking into ways to remedy this situation. In the
meantime, we could sure use some community support. Please consider
making a donation or buying something from our online store**.
In the next edition (coming soon), I'm going to write about the latest
developments in our relationship with Metro***--stay tuned!

* Ironic, I know. I would like to say “under the [part of the bike
that contains all the complicated and mysterious machinery]” but most
everything on a bike is out in the open or available for relatively
easy inspection.
