I read on Twitter that he is taking a few weeks off.
The new feature will be pressing delete on the forum the way itās going
This lockdown must have gotten to all of us. I donāt think Iāve ever seen the forum in a mood like this, and that includes me moaning occasionally
I think weāre all craving something new and different from the monotony of every locked down day
Canāt say itās always been like that TBH, when I joined a while ago, everyone seemed really friendly and happy to help.
I agree it hasnāt always been like this. The forum used to be a great place for interaction between Monzo and itās users. However, since Monzo stopped interacting so much with the forums, it seems people started to take their frustration out on anyone new that dare to say something out of line.
There are still some great users on the forum and many will try to help out and answer questions.
Agree that it used to be lovely here, back in the day. Everyone was so welcoming and pleasant.
Price of success though as more and more people join, youāre gonna get the odd grumbler.
I know Iām straying wildly off topic here, but Iām still pretty sure there are plants in here from other Fintech companies. Some people are so dead set on bashing Monzo and talking up Starling for example, that they canāt really be regular humans. Why would you frequent the forums of a company you didnāt think were any good?
Thatās something Iāve noticed from lurking here. Certain people cropping up in threads with a theme. Or similarities in usernames/avatar. Never a good word about Monzo. Strange.
I suspect there may be some of that, but there is also genuine frustration that not a lot has been released in a long time
Glad youāve decided to move from the sidelines and join in. Welcome to the community.
(See, we can be welcoming to new users @Tainted-Archer )
I appreciate the welcome.
I am but my team will be carrying on with the launch in my absence We cleared some major hurdles last week but given how 2020 is treating all of us so far, it would still be unwise to give a timescale. Thank you to everyone for being patient!
Thanks alot @kieranmch really appreciate you updating us even on your time off
Hope youre enjoying it and come back refreshed
Thanks for the update. Enjoy your time off!
Curious if any update on this?
Really feel like Iām now living the fool me twice/thrice life keep thinking ālast time Iāll get my hopes upā and then I do it again and then here we are months laterā¦again
I get that, although Iām thinking they may save the release until @kieranmch is back from his time off, although he said somewhere above his team would handle the release in his absence, it wouldnāt be surprising. If I worked hard on something, iād want to see it through
I can see that I suppose.
Just hoping it (and custom categories, whether plus or not) arrive soon
Did he say when he would be back?
