The Next Step

November 19, 2009

Zen went live in July and the past four months have been a blur. Over the last few weeks we’ve been relatively quiet, as we took a step back and focused on improving our infrastructure, code quality, user experience, and performance, and snuck a few features in while we were at it.

Charting Upgrades

August 17, 2009

Last night, we pushed a new version of the site with some updates to our charting system.
