Still Working
 
Some projects just take a lot of time.
 
So far, having user testing ongoing while I’m also adding the last few new features hasn’t been an issue. I’ve had some very good feedback–especially about how certain new features “should” work.
 
Some new features that I had implemented last year I had literally stopped working on. Not because they were finished, but because without user feedback I didn’t have the first clue what would be “intuitive” versus “really stupid”. I’ve been lucky that some of my testers have given very detailed feedback and provided just the hints I needed to make those new features actually useful (in addition to looking cool).
 
There’s still some distance stretching out in front me–and some features on the list that are likely to get pushed off to “after the 5.0 release”–but I can see the final destination now.
