Overview of Q3 and Ning Q4 2017 plan.

Better late than never - here is the product plan Q3 overview and Plans for Q4.
As you might have noticed, all the promised features have been released. We did our best to keep the deadlines and fit your expectations.
So here are Q3 updates:

1. Paid Access is finally live. It is even more than just old Paid Access, it is a great e-commerce platform with Stripe and PayPal integration. For now it is only available for beta-group, so if you forgot to ask for beta access, don’t miss your chance till Nov 3d.
2. Audio feature is live. Now you can easily create playlists, audio lessons, add audio tracks, podcasts, and any mp3 files. The feature has got a completely new design, which we think looks awesome.
3. Polls. Completely new feature for Ning, only available for Ning 3.0. Using Polls all Ning NCs can easily get up to date feedback from Network members.
4. The Design Studio got a few new templates, a bunch of new fonts and backgrounds to make it more user-friendly and provide flexibility of options you have in order to make your network modern and unique even without coding skills.
5. SSL certification had been implemented for all ning domain names.

Keeping in mind that we are living in the era of mobile devices all new features have been developed in a way so they would look great on mobile devices.

You could not miss how the Creators network changed, which is completely Kyryl’s merit, as is the new guide for Facebook integration.

And now as for the next steps, we are going to make:

1. Member ranking system
2. E-commerce platform wider development (donations, network membership, groups)
3. MailChimp Integration
4. SSL for custom domains, completely automated process.
5. Push notifications

Besides, there are lots of other improvements on the way, more related to back end, like the rework of the activity feed architecture and migration script (these are just the biggest ones so we simply can't help but highlight them).

As always we are happy to receive feedback from you, so feel free to drop us a line.

Sincerely yours,
Ning Team.

      • Hi Jennifer,

        Yes, right now our participation in SSL installing or issuing is not needed. If you wish to have a free certificate issued for your domain, simply go to the Domain mapping and turn on the SSL. That should activate the https encryption for your custom domain. Please keep in mind that it could take around 10 minutes for the certificate to start working.

        Best regards,

        Ning Team.

  • Hey Kyryl, strange question, I realize, but is there any chance something "new" will be released to us in December as a "Christmas gift"?   LOL

    • Hi Kos,

      That's the question I have been waiting for :-)

      This year Santa won't leave Ning without attention as we have been behaving well for the most part of the year, and we are planning to release several features from our Q4 plan before the Chrismas with his help. lol

      Best wishes,

      Ning Team.

      • Haha, good ol Santa :D

  • Just wanted to say thank you for a great product. Since I was a kid I have dreamed of having a way to get the entire fishing community together. I have made several custom websites and have used a lot of other websites to try and accomplish this. Ning is by far the most important tool.

    • Hi Brandyn!

      Thanks for your words, we are glad to help to make your dream come true :-)

      Wish you good luck and "tight lines".

      Ning Team. 

      • I have tried other platforms but there is nothing like Ning.

        Ning is number 1. 

        • Hi Tony,

          Thanks a lot :-) The gif would describe my feelings better than words
