I just want to share my current opinion. I have been following TB's forum and content for a good year. I've been testing TB since that time - improving the performance of PS 1.6, since the PS 1.7 is totally ineligible, I just love it and I'm generally thrilled. For quite some time, there are many negative aspects before I officially switch to TB.
When I mention "you/r" in my text, it mainly refers to @lesley, as he seems to be the head of TB, and only from a business point of view he is commenting on some things.
Absolutely many, many, many people are waiting for improvement. Not just for a month. An announcement on TB 1.0.4 in the fall of last year, since then has been just talked - we ask you for patience, etc., that there is a solution soon. On requests there are problems and problems. Even the last request from @ colorful-ant will update to e.g. 1.0.3.1 to allow new members / prospects to take advantage of an updated version that fixes bugs since TB 1.0.3. Blah, Blah, Blah ......... ..
(And just because the official update to 1.0.4 could take even longer - hmmm, the rest of the answers from the TB team, well - very bad.)
Info, we will announce an info within the next week. A few days later the request of another forum member to the state of things -> the answer:
Um, we're just discussing it.
You complain about income to finance the work for the project. As an an example:
You say you have an agreement with payment providers. You moan and complain that you have not yet reached the limit of paying providers. Why?
Hmmm - too few TB-LiveShops that generate revenue.
You want to achieve revenues by force such as Patreon. But with your answers and your stalling tactics, you only harm yourself.
How many have left in the last few weeks or lost interest in TB? Some members were also disgusted.
The work and performance of the improvements over PS 1.6.xxx is great. It does not help either the TB team or the sellers if only the base system is running. The offered payment modules are difficult. The other native modules get a higher priority. The creation of business software is no picnic, but it should work well and not only at 50% or so of the Liveshops including the native modules - also the test shops with TB of new prospects want to convince you?
At first it was like a hype for you and others, new forum members, etc. Only what has become of it in the last few months? You can count the daily forum visitors on two hands. I think you've lost track of what you set out to do at the beginning of this project.
In the blog post
If I remember correctly, Kennedy once said "Ask not what you can do for you, but what you can do for thirty bees".
But I ask:
What can TB do better in the next few days, so I can do more for TB.
EDIT:
I know it's a free ecommerce shop software like many others and I do not have to use it if I do not want it !!!
