Of course, you can follow us on Mastodon/Fediverse. The account is shared in our user name here.

It was a hard decision, we loved to be here. But we don't want to support the current way Twitter, or X, or whatever it will be named, currently takes.

Good bye!

Hi all!

The recent decisions, the owner of Twitter did, made us think about committing any content to the platform. We don't believe that this is a good home for open source content anymore. So, we decided to leave Twitter.

It was great! Thanks for following!

Before we will sneak into the very new features of the upcoming version 3, we consolidated some nice material regarding the app. So, there's a new section on the Blog:

Enjoy!

So a new major version without a visible change seems to be strange from the user's perspective. That's why we decided to implement a few ideas we collected over the months.

And then we could to talk about a new release, you all are waiting for. 2/2

[GC Wizard (@[email protected]) @gc_wizard]

Good news! Finally we are able to switch from bug fixing after the huge refactoring to more motivating feature implementation.

Althought refactoring was a huge change internally, the user (hopefully) does not see anything different... 1/2

[GC Wizard (@[email protected]) @gc_wizard]

Just to let us know, we are still alive.

We are on a good way. Nearly all automatic tests pass and all currently known bugs from manual testers are fixed.

It's been a long way, but there's a silver lining at the horizon!

As promised a few weeks ago: We recently published a SEPARATE beta app for the upcoming #GCWizard version. This is thought to be a bug hunter version to increase stability after our huge internal, technical code change for everybody who wants to support us with heavy tests. 1/2

[GC Wizard (@[email protected]) @gc_wizard]

While I personally am not able to work on the app atm, my great team is working heavily!

Thanks to Mike who tries to fix the many bugs on the way to a public beta version!

Thanks Thomas for the WIG refactoring!

Thanks, Andy for your great GCW Workshop event yesterday! GCA61TT

Because of two weird ratings in PlayStore:

I want to remind you: if you want to help us, please rate #GCWizard five stars in your favorite app store.

And tell all your friends and enemies to do the same for us :) It helps a lot and motivates!

At the moment I am scrolling up and down the new directory structure of the project and cannot stop smiling. It's so amazing!

After weeks of hard work we finished the first step of our refactoring. Several steps need to be done but we are on our way!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Please give the warmest applause to our great Dutch and Swedish translator, @HenrikeKrijnsen 🥳😍

She did such a great job in the last months making it more popular in the Netherlands.

She also created a #GCWizard Mystery GeoArt!
