PS: Thanks for this post, this is good to engage with the community and at the same time keeps me accountable facing people outside of my team!

How did you fare last week?
Currently at 35 beta testers for Vimarun. Every day I get a couple more signups.
Still no response so far and I'm not quite sure what that means.

This week I first spent a few days fixing bugs in an open source project of mine. It is basically a wrapper for being able to use a syncfusion control in the DataFlex programming language.

On Thursday a developer using that wrapper got interviewed on how he used that control in their product: SyncFusion DataFlex control
That really made my day :)

On Friday I finally got back to Vimarun. First managed to get around the initial stage of my problem and thought I had fixed it.
Well duh.. it just meant I bumped into the next issue...

However, I just got it all to work as intended. Still not perfect, but it is the best one can do and it will certainly do for version 1.0

What's on deck for this week?
Write help etc.. and make Vimarun ready for release.

Make up my mind to release beta 2 to the testers or just go for a release (if there's no feedback from testers... not sure it is worthwhile to do another test run?)

Goal for the month?
Release vimarun so I that can get back to Vimalin.

End of Year goal
Keep on growing the sales for Vimalin.
