I normally I am not the guy to rant in forums, but the WT closing of “Possible Update Schedule” thread ticked me off in the wrong way.

A little about me as this is my first post ever:

I originally discovered the TB in Jan 2015 but this “magic” thing looked not to be real enough to me. But I continued to lurk around the site, blog, forum for months until I placed my order in July 2015 because by then they were almost shipping…or so we all thought.

I waited 6 months, and finally got scared that this was a scam and in Dec 2015 cancelled the order and got my refund. The fact that I got my refund promptly actually improved my image of WT. Maybe this wasn’t a mirage after all, but decided that enough of my time had already been wasted and moved on.

A year went by. A whole year. And never ever heard a pip more about the TB or WT anywhere. At all.

In fact, I completely forgot the name of the product, and the company, which I was convinced it had to have folded by then.

Out of the blue several weeks ago I remembered and was cuirous to see what had happened to this “miracle keyboard” and its company.

Yep. the fancy site still existed with all the renders and videos, and now expanded significantly with testimonials. The TB still seemed still poised to solve world hunger and all.

Again, I couldn’t resist, drank a little of the Kool-Aid and placed a new order again, because THIS was the time it was finally shipping.

Since then I have been reading the blog and forum posts, every day for more than a month.

I have a huge sense of deja-vu. I already did al this YEARS ago. Is this really ever going to ship ?

I do marketing and sales, it is not that difficult to have a launch date, even in bleeding edge tech.

ie: Elon Musk has ambitious and aggressive plans but eventually ships stuff.

Your launch date was 2 years ago and you still have the nerve to keep the community in the dark…always shipping soon, always saying it is just around the corner…just the finishing touches…just one more thing…software, firmware, butterflies and bees…but nothing gets shipped.

A few units in beta test with a fancy name and nothing else tangible so far.

Just come clean on the status of stuff, commit to a date, and stick to it.

But more importantly: communicate more

And please stop with the childish practice of closing threads that you feel negative or have no response for. It just works against you. When you do so your convey the mental image of an immature teenager, maybe a solo operation. (no need to answer back with excuses of why it was closed. Not interested in them. I am only interested in a true shipping date).

This is the only community that still has any faith left in WT. The rest of the world completely forgot about you.

Treat this community well and when you ship, (if at all), we will be your ambassadors

I know you probably will close this thread too. Do not care. Just want you to read it so perhaps I influence you to communicate in a more open mature way. Less excuses and promises and more actual committed / exact dates. It has been +2 years already !
