“Progress has been slow and grinding, but it continues. I apologize for the lack of updates. There has been a lot of "boring" back-end development and first-pass bug fixes. Some of these consume days of work and are extraordinarily unimpressive to talk about, such as why a database isn't saving correctly, or account permission errors in the server environment. I'll have more updates for you as soon as there's something visually new to show off.”

“I've had a rough few months, and unfortunately I'm the workhorse on this project. I absolutely promise it isn't abandoned -- It's my top priority. I just have limited time I can sit at a computer, but it will get better. I'll have progress updates for you guys as soon as there's something to new to show visually. There's a lot of progress on back-end stuff like networking and database, but it's just not interesting. "Today, and for the last two weeks I worked on database transactions." Yawn.”

“We got stuck in a surprise crisis because Google decided all apps must target the latest version of Android, or be kicked off the app store in 10 days. We're scrambling to update and rebuild everything we've ever launched, with a lot of surprises... Many projects from many different developers, some of whom have moved on to other jobs! It's a mess, and taking time away from the expansion, but unfortunately necessary. On top of that I had spine surgery that is keeping me off the computer for a bit. Probably from spending a decade hunched over a keyboard slaving away for you guys... (guilt trip!)”
