Thanks for the nudges, y’all! (Psst, the dev channel is now Slack and you can hang out there with us if you get a Beemium plan.)
We’ve tried so many issue trackers and to-do lists and things and there’s a fundamental, seemingly insurmountable issue with them. Namely, issues come in faster than we can dispatch them. Which means backlogs grow without bound and adding things to an issue tracker eventually means throwing them into an endless sea.
Unless you periodically declare to-do bankruptcy, which is a horrible solution. (I do have a bunch of thoughts on triage and beeminding total age of tasks and whatnot, but I guess that’s a rabbit hole for another thread.) Anyway, @apb did recently make a new Trello board with what we currently deem the Top Seven priorities. We might make that public (main reason not to is that it’s sometimes useful to talk about specific users’ graphs and things) but in the meantime I’ll list the current top priorities:
- Infrastructure (mostly loose ends with the big upgrade now)
- Lifecycle emails (part of new user onboarding, includes better unsubscribe controls)
- Better payment options (Stripe Checkout everywhere, ACH, Alipay, Paypal – Stripe makes some of those easy)
- Freebees Revamp
- Road Editor
- Analytics / Funnel analysis
- New and improved goal creation wizard
And then a long list of things that it pains us to not have be included in that list (the next autodata integration, callbacks so 3rd party integrations can be first-class citizens, premium plan revamp, uncle button, integeriness, etc etc).
But, as you’ve noticed, things are getting done – most recently the big infrastructure upgrade and the big dashboard experiment – so new things will move into the Top Seven and we definitely want to keep hearing what you think they should be.
