Monthly m-review - summary
It would be nice to have a monthly summary aka m-review (webinar with the Top Ninja or an article) so we are all updated regarding:
- All ideas submitted on the Roadmap from previous month - what can be implemented as high priority or what suggestions from the Space are (or not) considered and will be implemented in the current month or a current quarter
- What is the progress from the backlog (or any issue log too if applicable - whats not working and/or was reported) especially regarding the core features: Moderation, Integrations etc. or even explain what Core features Njnjas are focusing on in the current month
- When we can expect next plugin update (it would be good to have a date and time so we can plan this awesome moment in advance and celebrate it by testing it and giving instant feedback)
- Are there any challenges or delays so we/users won't push too much or ask the same questions or place a similar requests
- When we can expect next AMA (if needed - we can vote on that)
- What suggestions or "help" (example: testing specific feature) do you need from us so we can help you out
More suggestions in comments are welcomed unless such a summary is not needed (ad hoc updates are in place) or it's better to do not waste the Ninjas time etc.
Mat, I always love your post and your ideas 🔥
Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I really liked your ideas, especially regarding the live Q&A sessions for those who purchased the plugin. I look forward to implementing these ideas with you to enhance our community’s experience.

It would be nice to see how many Posts, Comments, Likes and average logged unique daily/weekly/monthly user sessions we had etc.
Tom Robak you are a badboy but it's your right to rate the plugin as you want. On the other side just don't forget rating is a loopback.
Plugin higher ranking > more users are willing to try this plugin > increased product attention > better sales > higher team motivation > better product etc
I am not saying everything is beautiful and smooth now but it will take some time to develop and implement all necessary features.
If we won't support it then the spirit will die.
Mat that's the thing - more users, more sale... but chain is broken on higher team motivation - look on the current stage. roadmap is a total mess - requests are to the sky. bugs are smiling since weeks/months. UX improvements are in the middle of nowhere without any updates. Communication from devs... it's like wahoo, we have something new... 2 days later when bugs appear, silence. New update is coming next week... then a week of silence and no updates
Mat not a bad boy... but I jumped on this exciting ride too early. My community users moaning - 90 degrees rotated images on upload (bug), lightbox image can be quickly closed (need to precisely click on x icon), no option to upload directly mp4 video (transcoding provider or service not implemented), etc etc
