Wow! What a huge day… On my end, I spent the whole day coding on the project… We made some serious progress with massive improvements that weren’t even planned. But it’s totally worth putting in the extra time. If we can keep up this pace for a few more days, we can release something truly amazing. Seriously!

I was skeptical at first… but now that I see the potential… I’m fully motivated. Emmanuel told me he knows an awesome graphic designer to create the logo… I haven’t heard back from him yet… but it’s clear we’ll all chip in to get a top-notch logo done by a pro. I agree with you —> everything needs to be 100% flawless for the launch.

We were planning to release an alpha just to showcase the concept… No way! We’re going straight to a functional beta. That’s the best way to get the world excited.

Holy shit, it finally works! We’ve got ourselves a killer engine The code is rock solid no more bugs. Let’s stick with what’s working keep it simple, brutally efficient, and nail the UX. Tested on XFCE flawless but notifications are missing. No need to overcomplicate things we’ll just use notify send and call it a day. Still need to test on Fedora, though. We’ve talked about this before, but yeah, let’s push back the release. The heavy lifting is done, and with a little more time, we can drop a polished solution in a few days. So let’s grind hard now and throw a massive party after. Sound good, dudes?

I never say no to a party 🙂 It’s true that the hardest part is done. But after the code, there’s still all the documentation to write. We also need to create a website, but that’s where I draw the line. We’re all exhausted. So we’ll just make a page on NovaFuture and point the domain there. This is a 100% open-source project. Once the software is finished, we’ll have accomplished our mission. So if someone serious wants to take the project further, we’ll hand over the domain. Because I think we shouldn’t spread ourselves too thin. Even today, I improved some code on NF. With WP, it never ends!!!

At some point, when there are more of us, we’ll need to roll up our sleeves and switch to a full fork. But for now, we need to focus on both growing NF and Peerbox. Tomorrow evening, after a long day of coding, things will be much clearer. In the meantime, let’s stay motivated 🙂

I just read the latest development status markdown. The progress is just mind blowing! This wasnt even on the roadmap. I cant believe it I tested everything, and it all works perfectly. The artist is working on the logo, and I cant wait to see the result. Just a suggestion though: this forum doesnt belong here! Peerbox is what matters! We need a dedicated forum category one for developers and one for technical support. Otherwise, its going to be total chaos! Get to work, @debugman!

On my end, all the bandit tests passed. There was just one small issue to fix. Done. Can’t wait to wrap this up and move on to the important stuff. After the holidays, I’m counting on you to clean out all those bots that think they’re so clever 😉

Hey Dudes,

@matt you’ll be happy – I created the PeerBox category and moved the forum into it. Much cleaner this way. Now we’ve got a forum for development and one for support that we’ll open when everything’s ready. At this stage, we’re letting the holidays pass and launching after. Debugman’s got a lot on his plate with PeerBox and the other big project right now. So he’ll be glad I took some weight off by reorganizing the forum 🙂 In the meantime, here’s one version of the logo:

Yes! Love this logo. Can’t wait to see the other versions. Big work on PeerBox today! UX improvements over and over… stress tests revealed some well-hidden bugs, all fixed now. On my end, I tested on Debian 13.2… installed the distro as a tourist on an old laptop with the GUI… it’s really clean… the Debian team did a great job. Perfect for beginners. For my test machine I installed the XFCE version… yeah it’s really optimized. Pretty cool. Feels weird to see Debian for real outside of the console 🙂 but overall, it’s better than Mint’s XFCE version. Faster, more efficient. Old machines don’t lie. Either it’s fast or it’s not. This weekend I’m gonna try testing on Zorin. Welcome to Babylon! But hey, I’ll take one for the team. By the way… for the icon generation issue, I made a system from 0.2 to 0.8 based on machine power. Should fix the problem. Tell me how it works @Debugman on Ubuntu? And lay off your Arch for a bit 😀

Yeah, 10 days isn’t luxury at this point. Honestly, it’s smart. The plugin situation alone justifies the delay – we’ve got one working, but the other needs serious work. And if the core stress tests are still catching micro bugs, rushing it out would be shooting ourselves in the foot. Better to ship something solid than patch a mess after launch. The world can wait 10 more days for something that actually works right out of the box. Take the time, get it right. We’ll release PeerBox when it’s actually ready, not when some arbitrary deadline says so.
