Different software streams

[Duncan Innes]

It would be nice if users were allowed to select which development stream they want to be a part of.

Stable will obviously not become a thing until the 1.0 release, but when this happens it would be nice if we could choose whether to sit on Stable, Testing, or Dev software streams.  With obvious caveats for buyer beware if you are in Dev or Testing streams.  The number of users at sign-up suggests there are a lot of tech-savvy people here.  This community could be leveraged in the form of much wider testing than is currently possible.

Would also be neat to have a few more Blog updates than at present.  Perhaps monthly?  It's not a great feeling having paid for something, then getting sparse updates on how things are progressing.  The way Immich presents it's Roadmap is very nice while keeping everything simple.

@Duncan Innes Currently when the time comes, new features should be able to be turned on / off for specific users, so those eager to test the latest and greatest may be able to get that chance. I'm sure they'll be further updates on this in the future as we get closer to more frequent releases post V1.0.

As for updates, i hope we'll have more news shortly, though if you haven't read it already, the Q1 Update from Jon, does it's best to explain why the team had to reevaluate their own timelines / plan after such a successful launch.

TL;DR: The early access sale was so successful that we had to take a minute to expand our tech, processes, and team MUCH sooner than expected. We are very excited to be bringing HexOS to you faster and with more features than we ever thought possible!

So keep an eye out for future updates coming soon! 🙏🏻
