Keep the Faith - Cha-Ching 2.0 Beta

Alright, well, maybe from now on we’ll just say ‘when it’s done’.

We were ready to release the first time we mentioned a date, and then anticipated having issues worked out by the end of (last week) and the fix we attempted didn’t work. We are not comfortable with saying ’sometime in the next 3 weeks’ because we were that confident it was going to happen. We were wrong, we admit that, we’re moving on.

We are under no pressure. When we stated the timeframe, that to us what the reality at the time. The bug wasn’t something that we would be comfortable releasing with and then fixing later just to meet a deadline. We felt the obligation and the responsibility to release when this bug was fixed, and not before. We misjudged the severity of the bug and have been working everyday to get it right.

We were more concerned with the negative impression it would have if we released the product as it was, even as a Beta and the bug completely screwed things up for users. We chose the lesser of two evils, continued development and work, and not worry about saving face. If current or potential customers can’t understand or won’t understand our decision was for their benefit, we have no control over that.

All we can continue to do is work very hard, very long and very steadfastly toward a release that will improve the quality of the application, please users and not worry as much about ‘looking good’. We made a mistake, we apologized, we made it again, sucks, but we had to do it, and now we’re moving forward.
