One question that seems to come up more often than any other, whether on the Intype forums or in the Blog, is whether or not another release is ever going to arrive.

Whilst the list of Features planned for 0.3.5 is extensive, many Intype users are hankering for a release (any release) to be provided for the community to see some progress has been made since the last release.


Intype is being developed during the nights and mornings because of our daily jobs. This lack and irregularity of the time is taking its price, we all as users are paying. Our reason for need of daily jobs is to have income from different source, so we can keep Intype free of charge during its development process. Many users are comparing Intype’s development cycle to other products being on some regular basis. But we simply cannot compete on this level, therefore we have to find other areas where we can prove to have better product.Source: Intype Blog

We can see that Martin is clearly still determined to get the product out, without compromising on the quality of the software, it is still frustrating when long standing users of the forums are starting to lose faith that we'll ever have the software released before we're all forced to abandon the wait and look elsewhere. I still use Intype for daily work but more and more the things which are missing are driving me to using alternatives. In the same blog post that provided the quote above, the team again promised much and the result is simply more waiting. The 'cutting edge' releases haven't surfaced, the forums are quiet, and there hasn't been a blog post in 2 months.

Communication even just to say that nothing has changed is key to keeping your audience. I have no doubt that Intype will be a fantastic product when it's released. I'm just not sure that I'll still be around to see it.
