The past few weeks a lot of changes have been going on behind the scenes. Frankly, you won’t notice them very much. Prezly will mostly run a lot smoother and faster thanks to the efforts of Gijs Nelissen. Jesse and I have engaged Gijs, the founder and chief of web development firm Digital Base to reinforce the Prezly team. Gijs is our code Jedi. He makes sure everything runs fast as can be an is solid as a rock.

We are very happy to welcome Gijs to the team as a partner. He will make sure that Prezly scales well and will keep on running smoothly. He has been reworking all our code for the past few weeks with great results. Some pages, especially your public press rooms and press releases now load up to five times faster.

The past few weeks in private beta we have been closely following all of the feedback of our brave beta testers and we have updated Prezly accordingly. We feel that Prezly is stable now and is a full fledged solution for creating social media press releases. So as from today we are no longer in a private beta and everyone can register for the public beta to join us in creating a killer next generation press release service.

There still are some extra uses we’re developing now before we can move on the become a completely open service. In the next few weeks we will streamline the current workflow (especially the contact section) and we’ll launch publicly soon. So stay posted.
