A Brand New Interstate
TL;DR: Sign up for the new Interstate BETA at http://interstateapp.com/beta/. After months of radio silence from us here at Interstate, we’re very happy to finally announce the BETA of a brand new Interstate. We decided to build a brand new Interstate simply because the product which we have today is very different to what it was when we first launched. The first release of Interstate...

The Fuel of Interstate: One Year Later
One year ago, we wrote a blog post explaining Interstate’s stack and architecture after we were just two months in to development. Since then a lot has changed on both the product and business sides of Interstate (we’ve released 3 new major versions since then and we recently took part in the Summer 2011 cycle of Y Combinator) and so I thought this would be a good time to explain...

Interstate-CLI
Interstate CLI began on a whim, starting with my (Alec’s) recent conversion to Git from SVN. As you do, I started using Terminal so often that I couldn’t help but consider other tasks and ask whether they could be reasonably accomplished from the command line. This is not a new story, so I’ve gathered: this is why libraries like Thor, purpose-built for crafting shell scripts,...

Major Roadworks on Interstate
Just over a month ago we pushed out a minor update to Interstate which included a few important features such as file sharing and roadmap exporting, which we hope you loved. “Yeah, that was cool but what have you guys been doing since then?”, I hear you ask. Well, I can sure promise you that we haven’t just been sitting around watching Reno 911 and It’s Always Sunny in...

The Fuel of Interstate
Interstate has been in full-on development for just around 2 months now (and in private BETA for just over 1 month) and in that small amount of time we’ve had to make some pretty quick yet equally important choices when it comes to our site’s technical setup. We’ve had to decide things from simply where to host our servers to questions like which HTTP server we should use. The...

Frankly, It's New
It’s been a while since we last posted about Interstate and it’s been long overdue. We launched the site to 44 individuals/companies on 9th August and since then have been working with them to improve the site. We decided we wanted to redo the entire site after the feedback to make it more “app-like”. With the previous website we just couldn’t see it progressing...

Start Your Engines!
We’ve had a brilliant response to the invite applications we released two weeks ago with a couple of big names getting in on the act. This has spurred on development because it originally began as a fun idea whilst we had nothing else to do. We now see the potential of the product and hope that we can achieve great things with it. Everyone who applies for an invite...
