We’re getting there. I should do more travelling. I am just more productive on planes ;-)
Today’s announcement includes changable default currencies and changable primary email addresses.
First things first: The primary email address thing is not a big deal and it’s a shame that it hasn’t been there before. As you know, you can register several email addresses with cyclr.com – and you should do that so that other people can enter new stories more easily. Now, your primary email address is the one that all your cyclr.com notifications are sent to. You probably want to use an email address that you check frequently. Just hover over your registered addresses and click on make primary to do so. Easy, huh?
So, what about that currency thing? The good thing is: you can change your default currency now. The bad thing? Well, it doesn’t change much (yet)! Your overall balances as well as balances with friends are still calculated 1:1 no matter which currency your stories are in. Yes, I am still working on that and yes, there will be a neat API powered solution that does conversion on daily updated exchange rates. Meanwhile, please make sure that you set your currency on your Settings page. cyclr.com will already save the correct currency for your stories – this enables you to have automatic currency conversion for all your old obligations once the feature is implemented.
