Synergy Team Popular Post Nick Bolton Posted August 9, 2017 Synergy Team Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2017 Warning: Beta versions are not the finished product, and are unstable. We also took some features out temporarily, which we're adding back in gradually. Please purchase only if you like trying out bleeding edge software that contains bugs. Do not use this in a production environment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutton242 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi Nick, good idea. I knew going in that this was going to be a little rocky and I hope others knew that too. I love this software and wanted to help provide feedback for the latest version, but, also knew I couldn't rely on it for my production setup just yet. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more releases! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post quad_bx Posted August 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi, No worries, most of us know what beta means. And we tipped you a coffee(because 5$ can't really be called a purchase) to help you speed things up with the development cycle and maybe a small fuzzy feeling that people appreciate your work. However, you should take our feedback more seriously, because final customers, that will pay $25-$50 for the product, will be drastically more demanding. Personally, I already don't like the way things are headed: - lack of connectivity via Synergy when Symless Cloud is down, even if my machines are on the same network; - the impossibility to hard pick a master; - obfuscation of most important settings from v1.x. Maybe you should consider a poll, put some 5 licenses as giveaway to convince people to respond, just to get a sense of where you're headed vs. what your customers will expect. To sum things up, personally, I would expect that v.2.x to be just like v.1.x PLUS a modern/decent UI/UX and USEFUL cloud features. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could assure us that the Synergy 2 release version won't be Synergy 1 Now With 25% Less Features, I'd be more than happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Synergy and Synergy PRO. Pro having more features, ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Synergy 2, some of these features from Synergy 1 will be simplified and exposed in a very different way. On 8/10/2017 at 6:01 PM, quad_bx said: Or maybe we can discuss two pricing tiers?

Actually, that's already the case, but we'll be making SSL a Basic feature, and moving some of the Basic features to Pro (to be announced).

Popular Post Daniel Garcia Posted August 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2017 I do think "beta" is a bit of a misnomer here, as this hasn't even reached minimum viable product, yet - it really feels more like alpha or proof of concept at the moment. I'd put a vote in for stopping calling this a beta until, at the very least, it has reached feature parity with synergy 1 - until then it's an alpha at best. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Craggs Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 the abiity to move my mouse cursor between screens for one.. On my three console main working rig I've gone back to V1.8 but kept the beta running on a couple of spare machines. I'm afraid I agree with Daniel until it meets even the basic working functionality of 1.8 it can't be regarded as a beta. We are used to the quirks of development software but it needs to hit a baseline before release that I don't think this did. The price as others have said is not really an issue anyone who quibbles over $5 is just screwy, but at this stage it should really have invited to parallel development testers, rather than actual users as an upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Team Nick Bolton Posted August 31, 2017 Author Synergy Team Share Posted August 31, 2017 @Paul C Craggs It sounds like what you're experiencing is actually a bug (rather than a missing feature).It looks like you already posted your logs in another thread. I'll reply there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
