I launched PeepSo in 2015 after a year of development and ten years of experience in open source software, particularly on Joomla. I also had a few years of experience in social networking software after acquiring, then running, JomSocial in early 2013.

In this post I’ll tell you about the improvements and new features that we’ve added to some of our existing plugins and about upcoming new plugins.

In my last blog post I introduced PeepSo 1.6.0, explained all the core enhancements and new features… and mentioned that we also have some new and much-needed widgets.

They’re very cool!

We’ve been working on Customizable Profile Fields for some time. We wanted to make them just right for you and for your community.

At PeepSo, we hold a management meeting once a week. We do it over a slap-up breakfast. Anyway, at our last meeting, Merav suggested that some of us should take a break from paradise and travel… to a WordCamp conference. It went something like this…
