ScreditCrunch

Now usually our release names advance alphabetically, but in honour of one of our all time favourite episodes, Backwards from Red Dwarf, we are doing it a bit different. That particular episode also brings back memories to some of the people working at Scred. One of our previous startups went by the project name of ‘Nodnol’. This was a geo location and browsing platform for mobile devices, not unlike Google Maps today (but done in 2001). Unfortunately it was way ahead of its time.

Anyway, back to the release. We’ve got loads of great feedback and are busy working night and day to get things done. In response to some of that, today we launched:

• A simple way to manage inventory for MiniCorps. Scred also works out the value of it.

• A setting for MiniCorp shop items to control how many can be purchased at
  once.

• Pools can now have their own personal picture shown in the pool page and
  pool list. It is also shown in their shop, if they have one.

• The ‘Revenue’ tab for MiniCorps has now been renamed ‘Our Shop’. The
  profit calculation now appears in the top section about the pool. More
  revenue related functionality will appear elsewhere later.

• A fix to how profit was calculated in MiniCorps has been made. Now only
  orders which have been processed will be included (as was the case for
  revenue calculation).

• The user who paid for an item is now listed in a MiniCorp’s order list in
  addition to the detailed view. Makes going through list easier.

• Negative values may no longer be entered into pool transactions on the
  web. This used to be the way to add shared income but with the new UI is no
  longer necessary (for cancellation, use the cancel button).

• A fix to remove MiniCorp shops from the listing if the MiniCorps no longer
  have a PayPal account or if they have no members.

• A “No picture” is shown in MiniCorp shop if item has no image. Layout is
  better, but best is to add an image!

While MiniCorps are still in closed beta, if you have something planned or
an idea in mind which could use a Scred MiniCorp, get in touch with us using
the feedback form to request to become a beta user. We’re generally pretty
friendly and keen to hear about cool projects.
