We just published a big update to CastRoller’s logged in homepage. This update greatly speeds up the page as well as makes it a lot easier to get to your most used actions. Now instead of showing a Facebook style stream of updates to your collection, channels and contacts; the homepage just shows you episodes from your collection by default. This list had links for “Download”, “Play”, “Share” and “Star” for each episode, you you can quickly interact with each episode.
There are links to all of your channels in the right hand sidebar, and clicking these keeps you within the homepage interface, letting you quickly check your channels without losing your spot in the site.
We have also added a new page that shows all of the actions from your contacts. This is the same as the old home page, except it shows just updates from your contacts so you can easily explore what they are doing on the site.
We think this update greatly improves the usability of the site, and it is the first of many updates to the site to come soon. Enjoy!
