Pre-launch update
Reinier and I just got back from a short trip to London and Brighton to attend dConstruct and Barcamp Brighton. Reinier showed Tipit to some people at Barcamp and had a pretty positive response (more about that later).
We are still working hard on launching the site but a lot of it is out of our hands. Here is a small update:
Functionality wise we are mostly feature complete. The software is ready and demonstrable. Some functionality which we are planning for post-1.0 may make it into this version, but we currently have all the stuff we think is essential for a launch.
The thing that is holding us back right now is the agreements and details with the financial partners that will process our transactions and which laws we need to adhere to and which guarantees we can and will offer to our users. Getting this stuff right is essential for any business in the financial sector and it is not very easy.
We are working hard and making progress here so you will not have to wait much longer. Because a lot of this is not in our hands we cannot really give any indications on how long it will take, but we hope to launch soon.
