Hi MadaboutDana & Paul Korn,
many thanks for your feedback, it’s feedback like this that keeps me going!
Unfortunately, I cannot say yet when the app will be available for testing. I still have quite a few things to iron out first (some basic/required features are still missing, but also things like fixing remaining crashers & ensuring operating system support for newer system versions). But I’m very much dedicated to push this project forward as much as I can.
Thanks again, Matthias

I might hazard a guess that you have a line of other folks here who are waiting in the wings while jumping up and down in anticipation of a release happening yesterday. I count myself in this group.
I might also hazard a guess that many of those same folks would welcome a release with the features that have been demonstrated up to now (and with a basic level of stability of course) just to be able to move out of using apps that currently require them to kludge together a processing workflow that you offer with clear ease. I count myself in this latter group too.
In summary: Keypoints appears to be a very well-constructed app both in design and intent. I can’t wait for its release; I anticipate that it will revolution my workflow as only a few other apps have until now.
Thanks for your hard work on it!

Yes, I fully agree! And I wish I’d be there already as much as you do. But, as you say, the app must have a basic level of stability. Otherwise it would only be a waste of everyone’s time.
Although it may not look like it, I still have some stability issues to resolve. Then there’s some bigger usability & compatibility issues, plus some essential functionality is still missing (which depending on your needs may be less of an issue). I don’t think that the app must be feature complete to be released to testers, but I firmly believe that the things that are there should also work reliably.
Thanks again,
Matthias
