We've just released Zimki 1.8. This is a major release for us, as it marks the introduction of the billing system. Don't worry, we're not actually billing as such, all we're doing is recording what your realms are doing. You can top up your token balance to 100,000 at any time for free from the portal, and look at the pretty graphs.

The other very exciting feature in this release (other than the standard bug fixes) is the unit test framework. Finally you can write a test suite and have it run against your realm. We've also made the whole of Zimki much faster - you'll notice this especially if you have many realms in your account, but it should be faster for everyone, both using the portal and serving pages from your applications.

Good to see new features in Zimki, and well done so far. One small criticism; a little prior warning before you turned on the pricing feature or at least a start-up credit on each realm would have been appreciated rather than getting a rather nasty...
"We are writing to inform you that at least one of your realms within your Zimki account
has now been suspended."
...email.

Any idea of cost of service going forward?

Once you log in to the portal the cost pages are linked to in the info box... the numbers are initial numbers, and we'll look to revise them as we understand more about what our users are doing.

Alternately they are linked from the T&C page (in section 3 I think)

Hope that helps.
