   • Yes, I am a professional spammer! 12

Are we going to do this?

1. It seems customers are not that interested in getting a native APP, I am honestly surprised because I got like 5 contacts already interested in this, but the cost of development is huge and unless many people wants it we can not develop it. A pity since we are really excited about this. Let’s see in the future. NOOOOO
2. Custom fields for users are going to be developed! so big YESSSS love you guys too ;)
3. This a bit like a bad “user experience” we will review it and try to improve it, we did this before but was taking us too much time. We will see what we end up with. So MAYBE
4. Clear winner and really happy to let users search by distance! this issue is going to take us a while but love it! another BIG YESSSSS
5. Featured ad plans is something we had in mind for long time and another big winner, we will try to build something simple but versatile. YESSSS
6. Tight winner the import of ads (19+12 = 31 vs 25)…I actually already started working on a kind of importer for a client (a bit different),  also the feature will be there and up to you to use it or not ;) so YESSSS

We had also an open question:

Any other feature? – Come on is Christmas!

Interesting stuff was mentioned here like:

• Affiliates Programs
• ads expire with a renewal email with link to publisher .. return traffic. upgrade that works
• Discount coupons
• Better forums..
• More Payment Gateways
• Better social media integration.
• allow visitors to add their ads to more than one category
• Membership Plan
• Native mobile app

And few suggestions that our software already does, like multilingual, different language on panel and front end, custom fields,

We read them all guys, thanks a lot ;)

YO What’s next???

Ufff loads of work to do!! we are really excited on whats coming next, and I hope you too!

So we have at our github the milestone created for 2.4.0, there you can see everything we are doing. We have not setup any deadlines since it’s difficult to predict what other things are we going to be doing between releases, but let’s hope best scenario by the ends of March ;)

What I can tell you is that always as soon as we finish a task that would be released on Yclas.com immediately. That’s because it’s much easier for us to manage updates in there.

Surprise! ssssssssssssssPlaaaaaaaasssssssshh

We are working on a new theme and in exclusive I want to show you some screenshots.

Welcome Splash!!

What are your thoughts about Splash? was developed by Thom Wensik a great developer from the Netherlands and our latest incorporation (coming soon).
