Hi @Dmytro. You know that I’m a great fan of Blynk, but I have to say that the communication from you guys about Blynk 2.0 has been very poor.
On 13th June @Pavlo sent an email that said…
It’s almost ready for the first Beta users, but we need some time to go through the documentation and onboarding materials. We are working full speed on that. Sorry for keeping you waiting.
That’s the last email we’ve seen on the subject.
In August you said…
5 days ago, in response to a suggestion to add calculations within the app you said…
Which prompted a request for information about the other features that will be included in the new version, but that prompted a reply that the documentation wasn’t released yet.
I appreciate that you guys are busy, and that paying customers have to take priority. But, I think you were right with what you said in August - users of the free version of Blynk ought to be able to get details of the new features that have been implemented in the new version.
If I was a potential business customer and I saw frequent “it’s almost ready, it will be here soon” comments on this forum then I wouldn’t be impressed. I’d regard that sort of research as my ‘due diligence’ process and to be honest it would probably turn me away from the company, or at the very least it would make me very cautious about progressing without cast iron guarantees and penalty clauses.
If Blynk staff took a different approach, with regular updates about features that had been implemented and things that were in the pipeline, along with reasons for delays or changes in direction, then I think you’d come across as being much more believable. At the same time you’d be whetting the appetite and piquing the interest of existing free users.
It sounds like you’re at the point where a list of features could be published, so why not do that?
Pete.
