Dear Neo commmunity,

today happens to be Neo Collective's second anniversary. Last year brought alot of positive changes but also we all in team were held back by work, study and private life. For this year at least 4 Neo apps will move to v1.0.0 and a new doors will open.

Following our participative approach, we want to have your feedback on all the Neo applications you use.
https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/WWRgtIvwJSqGNYO6OrlWmeaynX4-V34-yMQto7gIXGM/

In the survey there's also a block for developers, maintainers or others who would be interest in joining our team. So feel free to share the survey with developers and communities you think may be interested.

Cheers!
Nick, Saul & Antonios

On sunday night, we'll be closing the community survey and then get to evaluate your divers and valuable responses (already over 80). Following that we'll comment some of those and communicate the future plans and todos of each project.

Till then you still have the chance to provide us with you opinion: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/WWRgtIvwJSqGNYO6OrlWmeaynX4-V34-yMQto7gIXGM/

So we closed the community survey last week and were really pleasantly surprised by your huge feedback with 92 respondents. Of these, 59 are using Neo Store, while 46 and 45 are using Neo Backup and Neo Launcher respectively. 17 respondents use Neo Feed and two use Neo Wellbeing (which is still in alpha/prototype). In the coming days/weeks we'll try to respond to the feedback on each of the apps.
For now, we would like to reiterate our thanks for your engagement!

This is a first alpha of the long waited 1.0.0, as all alphas it has a lot of surprises (and bugs).
Please check before reporting an issue if it was mentioned in the last couple of days or so (we'll try to keep a pinned list with all reported issues). Furthermore report the issues you face in our group only (not Github or Gitlab).
One last thing: we love comprehensible reports.

The release build isn't something we usally do in alphas', but we would like you to test if the migration setup we did works for you or results in crashing loop.
