Hello everyone!
We continue working at 100% on the new app.
We’ve had to redesign part of the data synchronization engine because it wasn’t fast enough in some edge cases we hadn’t considered, which has caused a 2-3 week deviation from our planned schedule.
We’re also making many improvements to the user interface that we hadn’t planned for the first version, but which are difficult to ignore when you’re building an application from scratch. There are things we simply can’t let slide.
In any case, we’ll try to publish the app at the end of March or beginning of April. If it’s not the beta version, it will be an advanced alpha version.
We’ve managed to make the task editor adapt to the smallest devices (despite the large amount of information it contains), showing only the information relevant to the type of element and allowing any data to be edited by tapping on it. The design isn’t final, but here you have an example on one of the smallest screens on the market (iPhone SE, 375 × 667px):
That’s all for now.

Pleased that you are not rushing the first limited release. Nothing is more disappointing than being given half-baked software, especially in the realm of personal productivity.

Hi Cyrus,
The truth is, we're keen to release a limited version as soon as possible, even if it's not 100% complete with all the features shown. We want to get early user feedback to refine our approach. Since I understand that not all users are willing to "play" with the new version from the start, we'll implement a gradual and voluntary onboarding process.

Thank you, Francisco, regarding your comment on your continued commitment to excellence and making good on your word to your application's users. I would be most pleased - and I'm sure there would be others as well - to participate as soon as possible in a limited release with the full understanding that nothing provided is considered "completed" to your tolerance level. Please do keep those of us in mind who are ready and willing to jump in - head first - at the first opportunity to assist you and hasten FacileThing's journey to its next level.

Thanks Cyrus,
You're on my top beta tester list. Your willingness to help honestly and to highlight both what you like and what you don't makes you a great candidate ;)

Keep doing what your doing. Rome qasn't built in a day. Your on a new venture here and your likely going to get a flood of various comments... improvements, wishes, bugs, whats not liked.... Stick to the design/function in you vision and that make the best sence to implement. Dob't let the masses run you ragged. Best practices... tge KISS method. The highest productivity always came from the simplist/most forward approaches.
