Can you hear the silence? Here’s why!

Hi guys,

Just getting out a little update on all the silence of lately.

After releasing preview 1.10 I focussed a bit on a few other things which really needed attention, such as small things I had going, work and my social life.

But then something came up: a vacancy at a UK web development agency, one that I have for a long time very much respected. Just to see how far I’d get, I got my CV their way. Fast forward a few weeks, and I have a great job offer.

Now this agency is in the UK, and I am Dutch. Moving to another country is a huge hassle and I had to spend all my time and energy on it. Yet I am very sorry that I have kept you all in the dark for so long – I should have sent out some updates and let you know what was happening.

Now I live in beautiful Hampshire in the south of England. This area is stunningly beautiful, a great place for walking and cycling. I now also work full time, as opposed to part time.

Here’s what this all means for Dimp:

• I will continue developing Dimp.

• I now regard Dimp as more of a side project, considering the new day job.

• This means that at least for the foreseeable feature, Dimp will remain a preview and will remain free.

And now, a roadmap for the near feature:

• Dimp will soon get an update with a more optimized core, a better timeline, and general UI improvements.

• The forum will be more closely integrated with the rest of the site. Think: commenting in the theatre.

• The next big feature for Dimp is obviously creating and editing features. This is high up on my list.

Thoughts very much appreciated, feel free to comment or ask questions!
