Dashboard Released

We have been heavily focused on our REST and AJAX APIs and have not concentrated too heavily on user tools that make it easier for users.  We are thrilled to release our Dashboard where you can securely log into your account over an encrypted connection, view all of your documents, easily embed them into your website, and delete them when necessary.  This is just a small taste of what we will be offering in the near future.  Here is a screenshot of the new interface (click the image to enlarge it):

256-bit AES SSL encryption support has been added to the basic Viewer and Dashboard.  This is more secure than the connection I use to connect with Commerce Online Banking (click screenshots below to enlarge).  HTTP over SSL (e.g. https) downloading is now supported by the conversion services as well.  We have integrated a seamless signup and workflow process using Paypal Website Payments Pro as our payment processor.  As a contribution back to the open source community, I will be posting the code I wrote to integrate Active Merchant with Paypal’s recurring billing very shortly.

With this release comes the launch of our premium services which provide support and a number of additional features.  We believe these premium packages are the perfect fit for many of our current customers, and will create new opportunities moving forward.

Domain authentication has been enabled for the Javascript API, so you must register your web sites in the Dashboard or else you will get a friendly message telling you to register the site.  We added most websites of our current customers, so only publishers that didn’t have real accounts were effected by this change (shame on them!).

With all of these enhancements comes a newly designed website.  We hope that you find the interface more intuitive, and we appreciate your feedback.
