For this birthday we’re happy to announce a brand new version of Trixie Tracker coming at the end of next month. This new version has been in development for over a year and we’re insanely excited to be on the home stretch. Really. We are extremely ready to put this baby in your hands! I first announced the new version this time last year, and while our original release target has slipped, I’m very pleased with what we’ve accomplished and I am confident you guys are going to like it.
Why did our development schedule slip so badly? The short answer is software development estimation is hard. The long answer is the existing application had to be completely rewritten from the ground up because it was too difficult to work around five year’s worth (counting the beta development time) of calcified code and there was more in the application than we realized.
We look forward to rolling out the new version next month. If you are interested in helping kick the tires of the new site, please follow us on Twitter; we’ll put out a call for beta-testers soon.
Thanks to all our great parents who’ve supported us over the last four years and made this new version possible. Thank you!

Founder, Trixie Tracker
We would love to beta test for you–we came on board in May of ’06, so I think we were close to beta testing then, too. With a newborn in the house, Trixietracker is back in our lives in a big way. And thanks for the iPod/iPhone version, which has been super-handy.
Welcome back! And congratulations on the new baby
We have been using TT since January this year and it has saved my sanity. Keeping track of feedings/diapers on paper for our twins was insane and messy for the first two months before my husband found TT. I love your software and can’t wait for the new version.
