Reflection on our first season the Journey

As we stand on the precipice of version 2.0, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we've embarked upon together. Today, we're not unveiling the long-anticipated 2.0; instead, we find ourselves at the doorstep of version 1.9.1. While we may not have reached the summit just yet, the path we've traveled has been nothing short of remarkable, and we're honored to share this moment with you.

Commitment to the Community

Our journey has been marked by countless hours of dedication, tireless efforts, and an unyielding commitment to delivering the best possible experience to our cherished food and drink community. Each one of you has made this adventure extraordinary, and we want you to know just how touched we are to have connected with so many of you on both a personal and professional level.

Preparing for the Future

In this prelude to version 2.0, we've taken significant steps to lay the groundwork for a brighter future. We've updated our server hardware, revamped our operating systems, and given our platform a fresh new look and feel. But perhaps the most exciting news of all – the cherry on top – is the long-awaited launch on the Apple Store!

Key Implementations in BISTRO BUDDY Version 1.9.1:

• Updated server hardware
• Revamped operating systems
• Refreshed platform look and feel
• Updated web frameworks
• Launched on the Apple Store
• Many Bug Fixes

Heartfelt Thanks

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the individuals who have stood by us, shared their stories, and helped us navigate the challenges of recording and releasing videos while juggling our own app launches and programming tasks. Becky and I, Jason, have been the driving force behind this project, and your support has been our guiding light.

Exciting Developments Ahead

As we move forward, please know that we have an array of exciting developments in the pipeline – new assets, expanded team efforts, partnerships, sponsors, and a multitude of event invitations already in our inbox. Stay tuned, for more announcements are on the horizon!

Temporary Changes and Known Bugs

However, with progress comes change and yes also a few new bugs for us to fix (please see list). In preparation for the upcoming series of new features, we've had to make the difficult decision to temporarily remove certain aspects of our platform. Rest assured, we will revisit these features and reintroduce them in due time.
