Dear storytellers, This project has been quite for a few months. This is a fact of life in open source projects, some developers are too busy, others decide to move on. Yet, while @alardw and myself where away, the community kept on developing new plugins and awesome features (like a one cl...
Hello storytellers, As promised a while ago, we are open sourcing our platform. A first version is now available at http://storytlr.googlecode.com with a detailed set of instructions on how to install. With this code, you can host your own storytlr on your own ser...
I tried to install it on localhost
The specified cache directory (/tmp) does not exist.
Where should I create that tmp folder. I tried to create in the storytlr root and in /protected but it doesnt't work :(
I think advocates for open source are really advocates for consulting services. You either grok it or hire someone who does.
After a few bugs have been fixed it should be a simple case of extracting the files from a .zip and following 6 simple instructions!
I have installed it at my site at ddevnet {dot} net (there are too many spammers here to safely just give you the normal URL).
Also, because of the way Storytlr works if I wanted to set up an instance and invite random people I easily can - I could even convert my current site to be a multi-user install in just a minute of work!
I can compile my own Apache, perl and PHP with OpenSSL etc from source ... and yet after a week screwing with storytlr I don't have a working install. The storytlr discussion group has not helped much with information either. I hope you can understand my frustration.
I love StoryTlr - Wuxialerenard
but if you don't when do u think to release bakcup tool and open source?
The title says it all, we have decided to stop operating Storytlr in 10 weeks, on December 31st 2009. The reason is simple: our lives have moved on, kids were born, house were bought, new projects appeared and we don't have time anymore to operate this service properly. We have spent the la...
but you got your lives to live
thanks for the nice time i had with your service
cheers
Thanks for your passionate work. Best of luck for your new projects.
Cheers!
But the service was just half of what was really needed to explode ;-)
Hope, that all this work will not be lost.
Is it anyway to have a "storytlr package" for everyone's server ?
What about, a Public subscription at Brussels Betagroup level, to keep this service alive ?
If you need help, I'd be glad to give a hand (or two) ;-)
Grazie di tutto !

but I use storytlr from almost the begining, I encourage you (not that much, every day I clapp my hands for you... ) from the beginign and now I'm a bit lost,...
lost because when you go this summer for the google dev. summit you were very excitited and us too,...!
we have wainting for 3 moths for a feedback of this experience and any improvement of the service with new features etc,..
but nothing came, what's happen ?
so you stopp,... it's your decision, must respect that but today I didn't really understand why you do that,..!?
thers is no services like this one, who can merge all data since there creation date and not since from the use of the service,... nobody can do that,...!
swurl, sweetcron, soup.io, posterous, tumblr, no one have your force !!
This services was THE perfect landing page for a full curriculum vitae of experiences/ life on the web.
what we are going to be now, our data will spread, again, trought the all web and like homeless people 2.0, we will wander throught this brutal 2.0 services world
good luck for the futur, hope the project bring you all you have research and can serve you for do much and come back :-P
thank youy guys !!
Even if it's wrong =)
(Have you tried contacting the people from lifemee? there solution is a bit green, and a bit different concept, but... who knows...)

Pre-signup now to keep informed about the progress. We will provide a new place for Storytlr users.
And last but not least : would that service provide at least as much as storytlr ?
I'm using www.storyofmylife.com - I will not use another start-up that will also go under in a year and my stuff lost. Be smart folks.

Instead I've started knitting my own system using Tumblr, Yahoo! Pipes and Disqus - all services with sufficient size and backing for me to feel safe. Having lost Swurl and now Storytlr I'm not going to leap into bed with an anonymous start-up.
Thanks & success!

Hi everyone, We've just learned that Storytlr was nominated in the 'best boostrapped startup' category for the Techcrunch Europas award. The selection of the five finalists is based on public votes. So... if you like what we do, and want to support us... just vote ! http://uk.techc...
Dear all, As some of you have noticed and expressed on twitter, our service has encountered some issues over the last two days. Here is a quick update on the status and the actions we are taking to solve this. Service unavailable: This was caused to a DNS issue at our provider, whi...
As you know, I went to San Francisco for a week in May, on invitation by Google to demo Storytlr at I/O. Here is a short interview they did during the conference. This way, you can now put a face on Storytlr (the other face, the one of Alard, is missing as he wasn't able to join me at I/O).
Do you really need to translate now ? Why not keeping on going improving the service and bringing it to a even higher value for the user... and then consider internationalization later ?!? It would have been better to think about it at the very beginning... but now, as it's too late, will it make a big difference ?
PS : And by the way, may be you could fix this tiny bug-feature-breakingballs thing ? :-)
http://skitch.com/pcarles/biubu/storytlr-blog-interview-of-eschnou-at-google-i-o
PHP for example has excellent internationalization frameworks, but you must use them from the start.
I think that many US based projects simply don't do this. This is one reason why going international is a pain for them. Refactoring would be too costly.
PS: Thx for the bug, had actually never seen or heard complains on this. Will fix asap.
Today and tomorrow we're presenting Storytlr at Google I/O in San Francisco. We thought it would be a good opportunity to announce an exciting new location feature. Lifestreaming services typically offers a reverse chronological view of all your online activities. Although such a view can b...
Bravo..!
A quick post to let you know that as part of the weekly maintenance we ran today, we also rolled out a new architecture with a reverse proxy. Nothing to be afraid of, this is just a really cool trick to reduce the load on a server by letting a lightweight server (nginx) deal with static content, and...
Hi storytellers ! As you may have read a while ago, we have been invited by Google to present Storytlr, in San Francisco, at the Developer Sandbox of Google I/O. This will be on May 27th & 28th. In addition to that, we'll participate to a very special SFNewTech event, on ...
When Mark Krynsky blogged about it, we totaly felled for it. So much that it also inspired our new dashboard page and that Alard immediately started to port it. The Irresistible theme is a free, GPLed, theme by WooThemes, so they were happy for us to go ahead and make it available to you. You can ha...
Post by email works great for most of our users, so you must be experiencing an issue (although I don't see errors in my logs). Maybe due to a Japanase charset or something like that ?
Please send us an email to support at storytlr.com with details of what goes wrong.
Thanks !
Worth trying with another email provider as well to have more data points. Thanks for helping us debug this !
Hello Storytellers !Right on time for Easter, we bring you the 9th release of storytlr, and we hope you'll like it as much as we do. New features include post by email, a much improved bookmarklet, a new 'dashboard' view, plus the usual tweaking and debugging. Details below and, as always, we count ...
Bravo à vous!
J'essaie de vous faire un feesback
Following our new release, we've received the same request from various users: "how did eschnou add a 'blog' tab showing only his blog entries ?". It is really easy to do, but not necessarily obvious (something to make easier in the next release). Here is how to do it: Add another page of the typ...
Hello Storytellers ! Just in time for the spring, we bring you a fresh new release with two really exciting new features and various little tweaks and bug fixes. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do ! If you want to directly see the new features in action, have a look at eschnou's page....
La personnalisation des titres et les tags nous rapprochent d'un blog mais en beaucoup mieux !
point to storytlr.loc instead of .com
Hello everyone, If you have been following lifestreaming related news, you must have seen that this week was tough week for lifestreaming services. As Mark Krynsky points out in his post, Swurl has closed, Profilactic is looking for a new home, and Dandelife is refocusing. Mark also raises ...
heureux de voir que les choses bougent petit à petit, heureux de voir les prochaines features ...!
je reste sur l'envie de voir apparaitre un wall de features en développement ... j ai un peu l'impression que le user voice est en stand by...
Courage et merci à vous..!
Hi storytellers ! As you may have noticed, we've suffered from performance and reliability issues in the last weeks. This is normal, we are young and growing fast. When we wrote our first line of code, it was to support our personal pages; today we also do it for a few thousands friends :-)...
Today we tried to push a new release live, our goal was to introduce a new caching layer and set of SQL optimizations on which we have worked for the past weeks. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. A few minutes after being live again, we started to see strange effects on the datab...
Bonne continuation,.!!
