Just a few minutes ago we passed the 3,000,000 stored transactions mark. It has been less than 4 months since we hit the 2 million transaction mark.

During the course of July, we've had an average of 11,000 transactions added each day.

It's great to see the site growing so quick! Thanks to everyone who has been telling friends and family and helping to spread the word of the site.

We hear you. Development is underway and the native ClearCheckbook iPhone application release will coincide with the V3 launch.

For the time being, check out our iPhone / iPod Touch Webapp.

That's all for now. Stay tuned for more.

I wanted to give everyone a little more information about what ClearCheckbook version 3 (V3) means.

V3 is the culmination of over 2 years of comments and suggestions from both users and non-users. We took a lot of those suggestions and applied them to the current version of the site. There were still a lot of updates we simply didn't have time to make or were too large to handle for the V2 launch.

The V3 launch, at current count, will see more than 40 new features and improvements made to the site. Many of these improvements are things that have been suggested to us, but others are some very unique new features that we have thought of on our own. One of these features in particular will make you question how you've managed your money without this new tool.

While we're not going to make public a full list of all the new features and improvements until the site launches, I want to give you an idea of a few of the things we're working on.

    - Running balances (the most requested upgrade we get)
    - Limits/Budgeting histories.
    - Report improvements (we'll leave it at that for now)
    - Much improved importing features.

We will probably get a little more specific in some of our new features and enhancements as the time for launch gets closer.

Development has been going very well lately and should continue to do so. We're almost at the point now where we're starting on some of the newer features that haven't been mentioned yet.

Stay tuned for more info.

General ClearCheckbook News:
June has been another great month for ClearCheckbook. We've had over 275,000 transactions added this month with around 2,000 new members sign up for the site. If these numbers keep up, we're set to break the 3 million transaction mark some time in July.

Donations:
We hit our donation goal again for June! A huge thanks goes out to everyone who sent in a donation. We upped the goal slightly for June and we still achieved it. The average donation coming in is around $5. A lot of people have been donating that amount on a monthly basis which is really cool.

V3 Development Update:
More version 3 work has been going on lately. I have started getting up at 5:00 in the morning to work on V3 for a few hours before heading off to work. We have also added another developer to the team to work solely on V3.

New estimates for when you will see the site is August/September. We hope to have the next version of the site open for beta testing in August and then a few weeks after that fully launch the site. We want to have a few weeks of beta testing so the new version will be completely solid.

With the basic groundwork of ClearCheckbook V3 underway and August fast approaching, I would like to extend an offer to any developers out there who would like to help work on the next great version of ClearCheckbook.

The ideal candidate should have a good understanding of:

• PHP


• PostgreSQL


• SVN for version control


• Running the above on a development machine


• Javascript and AJAX knowledge

V3 is being completely re-written from the ground up and is now being built on the Zend Framework. Having used the MVC method of coding PHP is a major plus. I would also like to hire someone who currently uses the website, as they will have a working knowledge of how the site currently behaves. While this isn't a necessity, it would be very nice.

The chosen developer will be compensated for all work done on the site. The exact terms will be finalized with the chosen developer.

I will be accepting applications until Wednesday June 25, 2008.

I look forward to hearing from you!
