Update on Things

October 8th, 2009

So where’s the next version of Loquacious? Where’s Loquacious, period, for that matter? Here’s the scoop.

Right now I’m in the process of getting my business (yes, I am Loquacious Apps, LLC now) right with the State of Georgia and the City of Atlanta, so I won’t be selling or releasing any apps until that is taken care of. Of course, we’re talking about government here, so this is taking forever (okay, not forever, but weeks.)

So, the bad news is that I’m now sitting on a fantastic new version of Loquacious that I’d be perfectly happy to release today.  A lot of stuff has changed, from new features to backend improvements to make things smoother and more usable, to a lot of little look and feel changes that I think make Loquacious even more polished and nice. So, I’m really anxious to get this out there.

The good news is that this waiting is giving me a little extra time to mess around with some new things and get some changes that I wanted to make into this version instead of the next. Last night, I added a gesture-based refresh to the tweet list to save a menu click. That’s a lot of fun. I’m also planning on replacing the 14-day trial demo with an unlimited, ad-supported version. The code for that is mostly done as well.

Anyway, I apologize for making you wait so long. I’ve learned a valuable lesson about scope creep in developing this version. I’ll be watching that much more closely next time.

And I will push out the new version of Loquacious to the market just as soon as my business things are taken care of. I sure hope it is worth the wait for you. Thanks for your patience. And thanks for your support; that’s what makes this all worthwhile.
