Charlie, The Steak

Finally - Charlie is out on iOS!

Hi all,

I know it's been a long time since the last post, so before we get to the good part, let me start with an apology.

Apology

I imagine a lot of you might have lost hope for Charlie already, or you think that this Patreon was a scam or you're angry with me for not updating you. To be honest, I don't blame you - my communication has been poor, progress was extremely slow and many of the promises I made were not fulfilled.

There were a lot of things happening in my life in the past months, both good and bad, but ...

iOS release is finally coming!

Hi everyone,

I have some good news on iOS finally 🎉

What's the status of iOS?

I managed to fix most of the remaining issues, re-implement some features from the ground up and fix a lot of crashes, warnings and other annoying little things.

Last week I released a new Testflight build that you guys have been playing around and it should be working much better (at least it seems so from the reduced amount of crash reports) and most features should now be working. There's still a few things (the brok...

Delays on iOS, BIG NEWS elsewhere! 🥩

Hi all you meat-lovers! 👋

It's been way too long since the last update and I want to sincerely apologize for that. 😓

I've got a lot going on in my life at this moment and that last few weeks were really busy. Some important deadlines in my day job, a little bit of illness and a few other things came together to create the perfect storm and delayed myself and thus Charlie. I know this doesn't excuse the lack of communication from my side, so I will try a lot more to provide more regular updates. 2024-09-08 17:25:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Beta testing leaked 😢 (+ new process for beta testers)

Hi all,

Unfortunately, the beta testing has leaked from someone in this group. I am really quite sad about it as it's very unfair to all of you who support Charlie. I've since then took it down, expired the build and it shouldn't be downloadable for anyone anymore.

Instead, we'll do a new approach. I'll be sending out a link to a Google Form where you will have to submit your name and Apple ID email address, so I can invite you 1 by 1 into the beta. It's really annoying, but unfortunately it seems that some people are not able to...

Beta testing has now started 🐞

Hi all,

Just a quick update on the beta testing.

Apple has just approved the beta build, so I went ahead and created a Community Chat here with everyone in Medium-tier and up and shared an invite link to the beta testing. 🎉

⚠️ The invite link is not to be shared outside of this group, as it's an exclusive perk of the tiers here and would be unfair to people supporting the project (you). Please, be respectful, otherwise I'll have to change it and invite eveyrone 1 by 1, which will slow dow...

A big meaty thank you 🥩 (and progress update!)

Hi all,

This update is long overdue, but hopefully it's the one you've been waiting for!

First of all, a big big big thank you! ❤️

For all of the support, kind words, patience and just overall love for Charlie 🥰 You're all amazing and I can't wait to get Charlie back to you!

Your support helped me pay for the Apple Developer program membership and all the coffee for the late-night coding sessions. I really value and appreciate it.

Progress update 🛠️

I am making progress! Although it's ...

Bringing back Charlie & AMA announcement

Hey all,

In my previous post Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/CharlieTheSteak/comments/1ef9y28/im_the_developer_of_charlie_the_steak_lets_figure/) you’ve clearly showed that bringing back Charlie in its original form is what mostly everyone wants. As I mentioned there, I’ve decided to make it a reality, so let’s goooo!

As there’s an incredib...
