I have quietly released the first public version of AtomWeaver: 0.9.0. Why releasing it quietly if it is a commercially-oriented product? Well, because I am kind of “ashamed” of releasing it.

Some people say that “if you’re not ashamed of your first product release, then you haven’t released it soon enough”. So I followed that advice and I released as soon as I could. Well, it could have been sooner, but I thought it would be cool to release it on my birthday!

And so it happened. The first released public beta version (0.9.0) of AtomWeaver sucks, lacks lots of crucial documentation, has blatant bugs and omisions, and the website is even worse: it has just four pages and two screenshots.

But I had to push myself off the cliff, I had to release one day…

Now I will follow the mantra “release early, then iterate like crazy”. That’s what I am going to do. New releases and website updates will occur on an almost daily basis. I released 0.9.0 yesterday but I already have 0.9.1 today! The update roller coaster will begin. Hopefully the update intensity will slow down as the product reaches an acceptable state.

A new era is starting. Let me take a deep breath…
