On The Road
Week 43 found me bouncing between old haunts with my travel kit and a laptop that rarely left the bag. The wind hammered the camera, I forgot the microphone at home, and shipping time narrowed to minutes between family visits. Instead of forcing half-finished code, I treated the week as a checkpoint: the product is stable enough to hand to new people, the pipeline keeps publishing builds, and I get to absorb how the app feels after stepping away for a few days.
Alpha Build Ready For Testers
The alpha track is now live on Google Play. If you want to help, start with the Week 42 briefing—it walks through every step from joining the tester group to filing a bug report—and then head straight to shokken.rsvp for the latest links. That page is the control tower for this whole effort: it carries the invite form, release notes, FAQ, and the reporting checklist that keeps feedback actionable. I’m grateful to everyone who already raised their hand. Those session replays and written notes become the roadmap when I’m back at the desk.
Looking Ahead
Travel keeps me moving for a little while longer, so next week’s plan is intentionally loose. I’ll keep publishing weekly updates, monitor tester feedback in the Play Console, and triage anything that surfaces as a high-priority fix. Once I’m settled, I’ll dive into the backlog items that testers flag first—likely onboarding clarity and the rough edges they encounter during their first host runs. Until then, thank you for patience, thank you for testing, and I’ll see you in Week 44.
