Eluma automatically synchronizes all of your content and favorites across all the different machines where you've installed Eluma. This works great when you want to access your favorites both from your work and home machines.  Our next phase is to provide you with secure access to your stuff over the web, for when you're traveling and you didn't bring your laptop.

We're in the process of implementing our user web portal, so you can access your favorites on any machine via a Web browser just by logging in. The first phase of this portal will be released in early July and it will allow you to see all the favorites you've collected in folders, tagged, flagged, etc.

We're also in the process of upgrading our current public portal pages to give better access to public Eluma collections to those people who don't use Eluma everyday. Public collections let you benefit from the organizing someone else did. So while Eluma is valuable to collectors, Eluma collections are valuable to everyone.

This first phase of the user portal will provide read only access, and we will be continually updating the portal with new features so that you will be able to do most of what you can now do in the Eluma Desktop directly in the portal. This will make it easier to add to and manage your Eluma items from any machine, regardless of whether Eluma is installed, although we don't expect this portal to replace the desktop client. There are still some features like managing and collecting large collections while browsing and offline access that Web applications just don't do as well today. 

Below are a couple of portal beta screen shots that show how we are trying to keep the familiar Eluma user interface in the new portal so the learning curve will be minimal.
