Timeview PRO and themes
February 2nd 2013, 10:30 pm
So, it’s been a little while since we’ve had a proper blog post, hopefully you’ve noticed some of the minor updates over the past nine months. Earlier today we released a few key features and updates.
Timeview for PRO
PRO users now have an exciting new interface for navigating through their entries. It’s a really easy and intuitive way to look back through your entries and is especially good if you have lots of photo uploads. To preview it in action you need a minimum of three entries, you can find in by navigating to View Entries -> Timeview (PRO).
New look and themes
You may have noticed the look and feel of 280daily has been subtly enhanced. If you’re not a fan of the new look, you can switch back by navigating to Settings -> Themes and selecting “Classic”. There you’ll also find a number of PRO themes, that provide greater contrast and additional design features.
Recent login activity
Along with all that, you can now view the recent login activity of your account. This gives you the ability to sign out of all other locations for peace of mind. Useful if you’ve logged in at a public location and forgot to sign out. To access your activity log, scroll all the way down and bottom right of the footer you’ll find a link to your “Recent login activity”. The data is available for 2 days for non-PRO users and 30 days for PRO. Failed login attempts are also recorded on PRO accounts.
Updates coming February
January 15th 2013, 2:45 pm
It’s two years today since 280daily launched. Usage has quadrupled over the past year and although we’ve been incrementally improving 280daily, we haven’t released any significant updates over the past nine months. Good news, there are a few updates and features on the way early next month, so please keep an eye out!
Email and SMS in new entries and updates with 280daily PRO
March 4th 2012, 11:19 am
280daily PRO is here! Features include:
- The ability to set your own custom character limit. Plus the ability to add almost unlimited characters on the fly.
- The ability to email in new entries by replying to your daily reminder or by emailing today@280daily.com or yesterday@280daily.com. If you have links enabled on your account, just replace your subject line with the link you’d like to include. You can also attach a JPG or PNG photo to your entry.
- Users in the US, UK and Canada can also send it entries through SMS and also receive SMS reminders daily, every other day or weekly.
- Some users have separate logins for different areas of life (e.g. personal and business). You can now quickly switch accounts with just one click. When linked, PRO is activated across all accounts.
- PRO user book purchases are automatically discounted 10%. New PRO only features will be released over the coming months and years.

Along with PRO, we’ve also rolled out improvements in photo support and new entry selection for all users.
PDF export improvements
February 28th 2012, 11:29 pm
Earlier today we rolled out some significant improvements to 280daily’s export to PDF functionality. An overview of the main updates can be seen below:
- Improved PDF layout
- Better support for foreign characters
- The ability to password protect your PDF
- Vastly reduced PDF file size
Please let us know if you spot anything unusual or if you have any ideas!
280daily gets a homepage refresh
January 20th 2012, 9:22 am
We’ve just finished redesigning the 280daily homepage, please let us know what you think! (Unfortunately you have to logout to see it)
Export to book now available
January 8th 2012, 3:14 pm
After a few delays the export to book functionality is now ready and available to anyone with over 30 entries. It’s been kept extremely simple. You have a choice of background, title, subtitle, inclusion of uploaded photos and the ability to select only the entries you’d like included in the book.
Due to the quality of the books, along with the costs of running the site, delivery and labour costs, we couldn’t get the price as low as we’d of liked. However the books are of an extremely high quality and the price isn’t dependent on the number of entries. Therefore, for the best value, we recommend over 50 entries, but the minimum is set at 30 entries.
If you have any questions at all about exporting to book, please contact us.
280 days of 280daily
October 22nd 2011, 12:18 pm
280 days have flown by, but 280daily has a long way to go. Thank you to everyone who has jumped in and made the most of 280daily! Everyone loves statistics, in the spirit of openness, below you’ll find a general overview of 280daily’s growth and users. Slow but natural, 280daily is self-funded so we’re very happy with the numbers!
We know 280daily isn’t for everyone, currently 15% of users delete their account, which accounts for 750 users. We’ve received 607 feedback messages, made up of 22% ideas, 9% questions, 59% compliments, 4% problems and 6% other.
Many of the features that we wanted to launch this year will be moved to mid to late 2012. However, the book feature has been requested quite heavily. So we will be releasing the first version of the book export feature 8th January 2012.
As always, keep your feedback coming!
