QR Codes delivering updated information

First of all a Big Thanks to all of our users for their feedback. We are pleased to report that we have already incorporated some of your suggestions and are rolling them out today:
  •  Doc Update: Earlier once a Code has been issued, there was no way to provide updated information to the person scanning your code. Now you can upload a new version of an existing doc and link it to an already issued code. The moment you do this - any scan of the existing code will deliver the new version. In hindsight this falls in the category of an obvious-before-beta feature!
  • Doc Uploader: We had a primitive doc uploader and now we have a much improved version with translucent green progress bars with all the usual HTML5 goodness of  drag & drop, multiple files etc. We thought hard about how to improve the upload experience and experimented with other options: Flash Uploaders, Java applet etc but settled for HTML5 since all modern browsers now support it. We do have a compatibility mode for non-HTML5 browsers. This still does not have resume capabilities but so far we feel this is not an issue because generally we expect smallish files to be uploaded.
Thanks to the Qryptal team for quickly responding to user feedback and I hope we can continue this virtuous iterative product cycle.
