Hey there!
Whoa did we drop the ball here: I completely agree that we could have communicated a whole lot better about this release and clarify expectations with Pressmatic customers.
In fact, we had an email and landing page with information for Pressmatic customers planned for release this last Tuesday but ran into some last minute hiccups launching it.
Pressmatic customers should have received an email by posting of this message with information about redeeming Local Pro. Landing page coming soon.
The long and short of it: we’ll be providing a free, lifetime license of Local Pro to Pressmatic supporters.
I joined the Local team in January, and it’s been my mission to bring better support and clarity to our awesome community about what they can expect from us. Over the last few months we’ve:
- Operated regular forum campfires to triage and help community members with Local issues
- Launched Local Lightning beta to receive feedback and address longstanding challenges using Local
- Launched the Local Beta Program to officially gather together community feedback for upcoming releases
We’re working on more community-focused features for release later this year like accessibility and multilingual improvements.
Stay fly,
Jack Sellwood
Product Manager, Local
