Road map tracking

[dna3e8]

Where can I find road map of additions and features, issues tracking, release notes, weekly updates?

I want to be excited for what is coming, what has just been added. Test new things as they are added. have talking points for my social circles.


I was hopping for a pinned post in this Forum

There is this one on the main web page https://hexos.com/blog/the-road-to-10

I can tell you working with the mods and Jonp there is a lot of moving parts the HexOs crew / devs are doing to get things rolling. It will be a process for them but I can tell you they are working to make sure the upcoming updates and Alpha release will be solid.

To add to @ubergeek's I have it on good authority that there is a pretty big "state of the union" style update coming at some point in the near to middle distant future.  Should cover everything that has happened since the early access launch back in November.

Don't expect it tomorrow, a week or two would be a more reasonable guess. Don't quote me on this though. @jonp is a VERY busy dude these days 😅

Reading the map to 1.0 I see yall mentioned adding more apps. Do yall have a general idea of what all apps yall are trying to have implemented?

Also I see in the post above I see a estimated 2 week timeline for the next update but what is the estimate for the release of version 1.0?

If i had to guess it'll be the apps the community wants the most. 

As for when the release of 1.0 will be, it's hard to say.

It would be great if it'll come out by the end of the year but with any evolving project it's hard to predict that far ahead into the future.

Yeah Jonp and the rest of the crew have been working like crazy to get things rolling to have a more solid date for us, Just keep in mind we are in Q1 so a lot can happen in the remaining quarters left.

I am mildly concerned they are losing out on their best window to have beta testers by not keeping people more involved. When I first installed HexOS I was checking the forums every single day, waiting to see what's next and what I could test next. I decided to go 'All-In' because I wanted to properly beta test this product and I run HexOS as my primary NAS now, but it's gotten to the point where I never even go to the HexOS Dashboard anymore, everything is done through the TrueNAS UI. If I disconnected it from the Deck, I would not notice a difference in my experience. Without engagement from the team (I understand they are very busy, and they launched at the worst time you could possibly launch a product, leading into the holiday period where most places shutdown for a while, hiring freezes, etc), I am losing my motivation to "care" at the moment, which is sad.

However, I could definitely see a new road map announcement making me excited again! It's just hard to see at the moment. I have been holding off migrating my Home Assistant to a VM until they release their VM manager, and I am holding off migrating Plex to HexOS until they "officially" support hardware transcoding, so when some of these things happens I will get excited again, I am sure.
