Monday Motivation: Moving Forward

Greetings Prosers, 

It's Monday and time for yet another Monday Motivation. 

We'd like to begin with a quote that is relevant for the news we are about to share with you today. 

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." ~ Confucius

As a team we always want to be moving forward with the development of both the business and the technology, however, we identify that often, to move forward, we have to take a step back too. 

With that thought in mind, we have to address the Android application. As many of you know, there haven't been updates to Android for quite some time, and this is because we currently only have one developer - who is slowing down time to fit more than twenty-four hours into one day. He's in his code-cave, ferociously tapping away at those keys, banishing bugs and laying the foundations for this wonderful community here. Unfortunately, though he might be almost superhuman, he most certainly isn't Superman. We have encountered some issues that are causing global freezes and speed issues across all platforms, and that is because Android needs some serious love and attention. It is because of this that we have made the hard decision to pull the app from the Google Play Store to allow us to take it all apart, blow a fresh and renewed life into it, and unleash it back out there. This is a hiatus, not a permanent removal. 

With this being said, once we have ironed out the remaining bugs on iOS and Web, added some more features etc. we will be working on Android and bringing you all the feature upgrades, speed upgrades, and generally a better functioning application. 

We don't want to leave all Android users in the lurch, though. Prose is optimised for your phone browsers and your tablet browsers too. You access it in exactly the same way you access Prose on a PC - theprose.com. 

If any of you, as always, notice bugs or things acting strangely, get in touch with us, we will add it to the bug list, and our wonderful King of Tech, will work his butt off to make sure things get fixed and resolved in a timely manner. 

We hope that you understand that with a team of only 5, (1 tech, 1 design, 2 customer service / social media / marketing, 1 finance) we are really working hard to improve Prose for your pleasure and outlet. We have big goals that, with your support as a community, we know we can achieve. 

Prose is one of the most beautiful corners of the internet, it's badass, it's gnarly, it's more than we as a team ever envisioned. We will continue to be transparent with you, and keep you updated with all the latest developments as and when they happen. 

Until next Monday, Prosers, we'd like to leave you with one more Confucius quote:

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." ~ Confucius
