Zoep : Firefox Extension

If the contact you want to call is off line now you can just right click their name and select  “Call me please” – Next time they log in they get an auto-IM from you to tell them that they want to Zoep them.

That’s a couple of clicks off your mind….

Call me back is included in today’s rather administratively minor update 0.8.5.

 Included in today’s update is…

• Typo change “Please check your internet connection”

Contacts Window

• Add Call & chat to right click contact menu
• Add sign out to the main window
• Tooltip on dial pad button
• Add “Call me please” to send IM

Add Window

• Change “status requests” tab to “presence requests” – done
• Change presence checkbox  note

Dial phone

• Only allow numeric keys and ‘+’
• Auto add “+” on pressing call button if not “+” in the number
• Give text box focus on dial phone when opened

Sign in, make enter after password action form

Download update

Mozilla Addons site = 2100
Glaxstar  site = 3424

Total Zoep downloads to date during first 6 days =  5524

The weekend is here and the first few thousand people are busy calling friends and family using the coolest new Zoepnames! Zoep’s already got over the 3500 new users on the network and it’s only been out for 72 hours with hardly any publicity yet!

So what’s this mean?

It means that you should do your friends a big favour and get them to register the best Zoep names while they can, Zoep let’s you register names like Jax, Pam or Johny, it really is that golden opportunity to get the coolest of usernames, so don’t miss out.

Mac & Linux

Listen up Mac & Linux users, here’s a tip, get yourself on a friends windows machine just so you can create a cool username for when Zoep runs in Firefox for your favourite OS very soon…
Have super weekend everyone!

Day two and thanks to you, we’ve doubled the downloads from day one to now 2000+

To date Zoep has had a 1000+ downloads from Mozilla Addons site and 1400+ downloads from Glaxstar site so it’s already on the way to 3000!

Let’s keep it up and show the world what a rockin’ platform Mozilla Firefox really is; innovation, freedom and choice. What a combination!

Tell friends and family to get themselves a good username registered early. It’s a great opportunity to get in at the start of the future of “open-network” Internet phone calls with Firefox.

Well we didn’t expect this! Downloads from Mozilla and Glaxstar sites combined now top 1000+ downloads within the first 24 hours of Zoep’s public Beta release, sweet

It was especially nice to see that even the few people having connection problems still had nice things to say about Zoep

At time of writing this post around 1400 people have already connected to the free service that won’t tie them down.

When the future’s calling, smart people know when to pick up the phone!

Every good extension has a bag-over-head moment

So responding to the few (as in three) reports of Zoep hanging forever with a grey sign in window, we found that if the user Internet connection was lost during Firefox start-up the engine did not trap the event and so didn’t give the proper “connection lost message” (resulting in the waiting–forever scenario).

This has been fixed in 0.8.1 so please update your extension and hopefully this will also solve problems with intermittent time-outs with Internet connections also which we suspect was the cause of the few reported sign in problems so far.

- Enjoy

This will be our roadmap post, we’re too tired (05:21) so we’ll do it tomorrow.

Including localization
