Happy Apple Event Day, folks! I know it's been quite a while since I've released a new version of GC, and for that I deeply apologize. However, I wanted to let everyone know that I am currently working on the next version of GC and expect to be back to regular updates now
I've got a laundry list of improvements I'm making, but this time I thought it would be a good idea to post my entire current development roadmap. This is honestly as much for myself as it is for you guys, and will help keep me focused as I get back into a good release cadence. I'll keep this roadmap thoroughly updated so you guys always know what I'm working on.
My current plan is to have the next version out within the next few days, basically just in time for Big Sur's final release, so I'm keeping things small to start out. A HUGE thank you to everyone who has been so patient waiting for the next versions of GC - I promise it will be worth it!
(PS - to get myself back into the swing of things I released a mini-project called FacePorts where I used Clockology to port all the faces Apple withholds from 42mm and 38mm watches. Check it out if you've got a Series 2 or Series 3!)
