back on track.
guys and gals,
It’s been a hard time for us for the past months and I guess you thought we’d be dead by now. There’s been little progress in the development and we’ve been fighting the usual start-up struggle. We run out of the resources that we thought would take us to a public iPhone beta. They didn’t.
We tried for a long time to push the development even without any resources, with lot of help from the guys initially on the project, and other friends trying to fix and & finalize the beta. Working with limited resources is good in many ways. It triggers creative thinking and often more optimized solutions than if you have unlimited resources, but working without resources, that doesn’t last for long.
Since the beginning of the year we’ve been trying to figure out a sustainable model to continue the development and to get things up running again. It’s with quite a relieve that we finally have found a path that we believe will help us in short-term but more importantly in the long run.
We invited you to become a part of a beta team in September last year, and we haven’t forgot about you. We know that you care about your address book, and so do we. The app has yet to reach a level where it doesn’t act as ambahoo. At some points the app has been a little funny and mixed people and numbers, and even though it’s surprising at times there’s no way we’ll let this happen to you.
Delays and problems and the heavy winter behind, we have exciting & bright times ahead. I’m promised myself to never say “soon” again so I won’t, but I truly believed in “soon” last year… we only had weeks until release, right. But you learn as you live. When it happens, it happens. Until then, make sure to back-up your contacts!
Yours,
it’s real
kick-start development
the most important thing of all. we’ve closed a deal with a developer and the production is in motion. as we’ve been waiting for this moment! to actually start building what was, not long ago, just a dream – a vision.
we’re now not far away from the first beta. we expect a release sometimes during the summer, if all goes like planned. as we speak the team is setting up the database model and deploying basic application structure. yay!
it’s so exciting, to finally be able to see the implementation of the ideas. there’s no doubt we’ll come across many issues and obstacles on the road but in every obstacle there’s an opportunity!
We’re having a hectic time ahead, committed to deliver a stunning application in the very near future. If you’re considering completing your address book by all those details it’s missing, and correcting all those numbers that’s old – just hang on a little while. Soon you’ll be able to sign up to be one of the first to people to try it out.
Stay tuned.
