Agenda 14

We hear you and to make a few things clear that might not be immediately obvious:

  • the Agenda version numbering is a bit unique in that we switch to the next major version each time we add a new premium feature, which means that the changes between say Agenda X and Agenda X+1 are not necessarily as big as you might think based on more classic version 1.0 vs 2.0 etc.

  • in general we indeed try to stick to a more iterative approach; again the version number is a bit misleading in this respect.

Alas this time around, the release from version 13 to 14 took much longer than normal, too long also if you ask us, we agree there. Unfortunately this was caused by two things:

  1. this year wasn’t very easy from a personal point of view, kids at home, some other personal challenges etc unfortunately have a direct impact on things if you’re only two men in a garage

  2. in order to implement a number of features we’d like to bring in both Agenda 14, but also beyond, required some significant under-the-hood changes we would have to take on at some point in time.

The combination of the two didn’t help. As said, the bulk of the work is behind us so we hope to pick up our regular pace again in 2022…

Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Hope things have stabilized since. :slight_smile:

What would it take to get on the beta train in January? I’m a heavy Agenda user and the lack of autocomplete for tags and mentions is a real pain, so if I could get it sooner by being on the beta I’m willing to deal with the potential instability.

I’ve added you to the beta, you should get a notification once the first beta goes out.

I would appreciate an invitation to a beta train as well. I’m getting ready to jump back to Notes (yet again) but trying to hang on with Agenda.

Hopefully will get it before my Pro expires :slight_smile:

Thanks for your effort guys, I’m still with Agenda since a long time. Not a hard users as maybe heaps of you, but still integration to calendar/ reminders and collaboration with my Devonthink is a point i wouldn’t miss.
Appreciate your hard work and yeah actually the situation isn’t for everyone very easy.
Happy to see version 14 soon :+1:

Alex, thank you! It certainly looks like you and @drewmccormack most definitely hit it out of the park with this version! Wow! :open_mouth: It not only looks great, but the new features will save so much time going forward! :+1::+1: I must agree with you that there was a lot going on in the world — to put it mildly. So, considering this along with the countless hours that obviously went into this version, any sensible person should not only understand why it took so long, but that speeding through it simply would have ensured quite the opposite set of results.

No app is perfect. It simply can’t be. Sure, I experience small issues here and there, but when a single app replaces a handful of disparate apps and consistently works well enough to not piss you off — yeah — that really does say a lot!

I’ve been using Agenda now for just a couple of years and though I was quite impressed when I first discovered the app, I cannot believe how much more usable it has become since! You guys are doing a phenomenal job and I certainly hope the app keeps providing for you in the years to come!

Be well, and please don’t stop doing what you’re doing!

P.S. The outtakes were hilarious! :joy::ok_hand:

That’s super kind of you to say, reactions like yours are a big part of the motivation to keep working on Agenda! Must say it does feel good to round up almost a year of work into a release, it has become quite a marathon this one :smiley: And part of the excitement is knowing we can now move on to the next chapter!

Glad you liked the guest appearance :smiley: :dog:
