We wanted to let you know that we've been working hard and we are still listening to you. Before launch, we want to let you know most of the changes we made during this last weeks.
But there is more... we plan to launch a few updates even after launch (not just possible fixes, but real new content). Just stay tuned and, sincerely, thank you very much for all your support during this time.
