What about my invite?
So, I’m getting more and more requests by people who registered for the beta, didn’t get an invite yet, and legitimately wonder why… So I figured I’d write this post to give you a little update on where we are at now, what the plans are for the upcoming weeks, and why is it that everyone is not registered yet :)
At the moment, we have around 200 people active on the beta test. These people have been until now providing fantastic feedback (again, thanks a lot to all!!), helping to already establish a list of a ton of things to work on, fix and improve. That list is certainly not final, and I’m pretty sure more testers, coming from more different horizons, will find more bugs and come up with more suggestions, and I’m really looking forward to it.
But the truth is, the priority after all is to fix the bugs and do what’s needed on each and every suggestion, one at the time, in order for this process to progress efficiently. And this is precisely what I’m doing right now, fixing stuff, improving things, so that, as soon as possible, we can release a new version, invite more people to the tests, and so on and so on, so that slowly but surely we progress towards a stable release.
Bear in mind the whole idea of a beta test is precisely to gather feedback in order to improve software quality, believe me, if there’s one guy on earth that wants badly this app to be ready for public consumption and made available to all ASAP, well that’s me :)
Thanks again for your patience and interest, and my apologies if this is taking too long, I can promess we are not trying to prevent you from using Lovely Charts, we simply want it to be as good as it can be before we release it into the wild :)

Thanks for the explanation - I’m very excited about your product - have used many different mapping tools (used to like MindMap until they ruined it!) but it came in handy for a huge client project (Chivas Regal and MSN) - We produced 48 videos for VOD branded entertainment and mapping/charting kept our communication clear between production/postproduction and the client - thanks for doing this and I’m anxious to try it when you are ready…Cirina Catania http://www.twitter.com/cirina or http://www.digitalproductionbuzz.com
