December Update

January 7, 2025
“Harry and his crew were very busy in the month of December and we’d like to introduce a new feature.”

The Tower set up wizard!

If you’re like Harry, you set up lots of towers. Wouldn’t it be great if the process was more streamlined and faster? That was Capt. Harry’s thought, and now we’re proud to show it off.

Setting up a tower is now easy!

All of the steps are kept track of for you and show clear success or failure. With options to retry if a step fails.

  • Towers are shown by your location, simply select the tower you want to set up. No more copying/pasting tower ids!
  • Firmware is shown as either Up-to-date or out of date, with an easy way to upgrade. No more guessing which firmware is the correct version.

Location refinement allows you to add photos of the tower and set the exact location of your tower on the map.

Want a complete guide on how to use this awesome new feature?

Try it on your own tower! The wizard is live in both sandbox and Production environments.

A merry Yo Ho Ho and a bottle o’ eggnog to all ye pirates out there!

 

November Update

December 11, 2024
“Arr, we’ve been busy pirates lately!”

We’re working on lots of new additions and improvements to our ship. Captain Harry has told me that I can show off one of our newest additions.

New documentation!

Here at Harbor we’re always making things better. We’ve added lots of new information to our docs, and revamped the organization of the entire thing to better serve our build partners.

Check it our yourself!

Check back in with us next month to see what else we’ve made better!

September Update

September 30, 2024
“The tide will turn, the winds will shift, and you will sail better with
each new day.”

September was relatively smooth sailing for us. We used this time to improve our ship for rougher waters.

Better event organization on Harbor Admin

Now we have an easy way to check locker states.

Many times there will be an issue where a locker is going to the wrong state, now we have a specific menu to track which locker is in which state to help debugging.

New Tower states diagram

Always ever improving, we decided to re-do our tower state diagram. We hope this one is more clear to easily illustrate what is happening with our lockers.

Our new diagram is on our docs where we aim to have all of our publicly available information.

And yet, we will outdo ourselves again next month!

Harry is excited for halloween next month, can you guess what he’s going to dress up as? Hint, it rhymes with myret

August Update

August 06, 2024
“We’ve weathered many a tempest an’ been tossed ‘cross the roughest seas, yet here we be.”

August was truly a test of our mettle. New partnerships, new features, bugfixes, and overall stormy seas.

But it wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle.

New features:

Tower model diagrams

Previously, when setting up a tower model we had an interface that relied on the user’s imagination to picture the final product. That was not ideal.

Tower model editing

Now, anyone no matter how imaginative can see directly how their locker is going to look according to the system.

But of course nobody is perfect, that’s why we introduced:

Previously tower models were set in stone. If you forgot to put ADA compliant lockers? Too bad. If that large is actually an XL ? Sucks.

Now with our new and improved features we can handle all of these minor mistakes and edit tower models even in production.

Tower model editing

Do you like repetitive tasks, such as clicking every single locker to change them to available?
Us either.

That’s why we automated this step

Now, simply select the towers you want to be available and set them all at once. A time and sanity saving feature courtesy of our crew.

Improvements to our ship

One improvement outshined all others this month. But don’t take my word for it, take a look at this graph.

That is response time from user’s devices to our servers.

It’s like golf, the lower the score the better. And we managed to reduce this time from seconds to milliseconds. Or in other terms it is now almost ONE THOUSAND times smaller.

That’s a lot of times!

This will be most noticeable in areas with bad reception, what could have been a several second connection has now become almost instant.

And yet, we will outdo ourselves again next month!

Bug fixes

Originally I was going to make a list of all of our bug fixes, but it turned out to be more than 30 lines and nobody is going to read all that. So rest assured our entire team has This attitude
Harry worked overtime this month, he didn’t even take labor day off!

July Update

July 29, 2024

August was truly a test of our mettle. New partnerships, new features, bugfixes, and overall stormy seas.

But it wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle.

Smooth Sailing into new features!

We’re excited to introduce our streamlined set-up process for our towers. This new form marks a significant step forward in making our innovative storage solution more streamlined for us and our valued build partners.

Our new tower approval process is:

  • Simple: Provide the address, how many towers, and your contact information.
  • Convenient: Use this form any time, anywhere, and from any device.
  • Orderly: Now our tower creation and approval is all done in this one place, duplications or mistakes have been reduced.

We’re confident this new form will enhance your experience with our smart locker service.

Check it out!

We aim to have everything on our admin portal as clear as possible.

And yet, we will outdo ourselves again next month!
