Good evening, everyone! Ayume is back with our latest development log for July.
⚡️
This month, we decided to focus first on our core services, such as our own Email and WebSockets.
After that, we shifted our attention to infrastructure, system stability, and overall performance. To put it simply, our platform has become
significantly better and more reliable.🐶
Before we get into the list of changes, let us remind you what Ayume is. It is a multi-service platform where you can create a unique
@ayume.net email address. You can use it to register on external platforms
(like TikTok, Github, X, etc...) or to access our own services. The experience is designed to feel very similar to ecosystems
like Google, Apple, or Yandex.🔝 First, a few words about our style and design. We decided that our applications and websites will use a clean, monochromatic look with design elements inspired by Apple. We chose this approach to make our services feel familiar, simple, convenient, and pleasant for you to use.
🌿 We have fully completed the first stable version of our Email service. Previously, you could register an address, but there was no way to recover your account or actually use the email you received. Now, we have a fully working email app in our testing environment, and all that is left is to finish the web interface for it.
‼️ We also completely reworked our OAuth2 system. It will now be restricted exclusively to internal Ayume applications. We adjusted our plans due to security risks and unfinished functionality, deciding to keep this part of the service in closed testing for now 🍸.
🔥 Ayume is reaching a new level in terms of infrastructure. We moved away from our old Docker Compose setup to a new automated service management system. This makes our platform much more resilient, secure, and reliable for you. Any updates will now happen seamlessly without you noticing, and potential DDoS attacks, high server loads, or server restarts will not interrupt your work with our apps. This system is currently being actively developed and tested.
❄️ Now, regarding security. Earlier during development, all user data was stored under a single master security key, which was far from ideal. We have now implemented new ways to keep your data and files safe when you store them with Ayume. All your data will now be fully encrypted, and access keys will be strictly limited and stored in an encrypted format.
🔝 Finally, legal documentation. We had paused this part briefly, but we will soon resume drafting new documents. To launch even our main Ayume website publicly, we need to publish a legally compliant User Agreement and Privacy Policy.
That's all for now. Thank you for staying with us and following our product!
Sincerely,
the Ayume team.
