Would you launch an imperfect V1, or keep polishing before putting it out there?

I've been thinking about this a lot while building our first version.

The product works, and the core experience is there, but there are still some bugs, rough edges, and occasional inconsistencies. Nothing fundamentally broken, but definitely things we already know we could improve.

One side of me thinks we should just launch it, get it in front of real users, and let actual usage tell us what matters. Otherwise, it's very easy to spend weeks fixing things that users may not even care about.

The other side worries that a rough first experience can hurt more than it helps. People might try the product once, hit a bug or see something inconsistent, and never come back, even if the underlying idea is good.

Termexo v0.8.2: smoother terminal input and new model controls

Maker update: Termexo v0.8.2 is out today. This release focuses on typing responsiveness while multiple agents produce output.

Output now uses one application-wide subscription with routing by terminal ID, reducing duplicate callbacks and UI work. History replay restores the terminal display without reprocessing old output through task, handoff, and startup readers. Draft persistence is batched, and terminal size ownership is handled on focus/click instead of every keystroke.

Also new: Claude 1M context configuration, separate Claude/Codex effort settings, per-terminal launch overrides, and direct agent buttons in empty workspaces. Actual context and effort support depends on the CLI, model, account, and provider.

Termexo is MIT-licensed and runs on Windows. Agent CLIs and model services need their own setup. Release notes and installers: https://github.com/gemron/Termex...

Skim v1.0.28 — "Hi, my name is" 👋

The one where your mail finally stops introducing itself as a.very.long.address@example.com and starts signing off like a grown-up.

New

  • Your name on outgoing mail. Skim always had a slot for a display name it just never bothered to fill it. Now it does, per account. And it doesn't ask you: it takes a quiet look at your Sent folder, notices what you actually sign with, and adopts it. Guess once, never again, and never after you've touched the field yourself. (Microsoft OAuth hands the name over at connect time, because it's already right there in the token. Google makes us do it the hard way.) closes #43

  • Per-mailbox signatures. One plain-text sign-off per account, inserted into the draft the moment you open the composer so what you see is exactly what goes out, and the copy in IMAP Drafts matches. Comes with the proper -- delimiter pre-typed, which also means the AI co-author and the language detector politely skip over your sign-off instead of studying it. closes #42
