Rabbit r1 weekly updates are over

Simon B. confirms that from today there will no longer be updates every Thursday as has been done since its launch

Yes, I'm a day late, but it's been a pretty busy week. I apologize. But let's get to the most important thing. Simon Balmain has spoken. and I am sure that it will not be to the taste of many users.

And we must recognize that they have accustomed us badly. We were in line to receive Rabbit r1 updates every week —on Thursdays to be exact— since, which made us wait for that day impatiently.

They warned us from our Telegram Group in Spanish following a user and creator of the website MyRabbitOSr1 that Simon's publication was a reality. No more weekly updates.

The Spanish text is the following:

Ok, so I'm aware of the latest, and we're not launching an OTA today or this week.

Without timers and alarms on the outage, it wasn't worth launching an OTA. The cloud team has been working on their end to get those two things OTA-ready as soon as possible, so there's not much to justify an announcement on the cloud side either.

I'm not in favor of announcements that are basically "bug fixes and improvements" lol.

I also want to lower the expectation for weekly updates at this point. Our Q3 looks like it will have more resources on fewer but important things (like Teach Mode), so that probably means that although OTAs will continue every 2 weeks, the alternating weeks won't always have significant announcements on the side. from the cloud.

This news was expected

I don't think anyone will be surprised that a weekly rhythm of “relevant” OTAs was impossible to maintain. My opinion is that if there have been such a number of updates until now, it has been precisely because the Rabbit r1 was released on the market unfinished.

What they have done so far has been add options and improvements that should have been included from the beginning and solve problems that should not have been released to the market. This drop in pace is normal.

And delaying updates is not only normal but desirable. Having such short development times means that those involved in improving the Rabbit r1 go against the clock. And what causes this? Well, more errors, lack of polish and lower quality work..

For my part, I am patient, aware of the uses of the Rabbit r1 and its limitations. Any improvement is welcome, but It is necessary to reflect on the speed and conditions in which they work the developers and don't rush.

I can be flexible with times, but not with quality. If you do a good job, it will be worth the wait...
