Any chance of getting the recording of the last call posted online? The timings for these calls are really bad for UK users, so the recording is important.

I’ve tried once - and found the spouse acceptance factor to be even lower than my other HA experiments!

i haven’t mentioned this yet, but i fell asleep again during a dev call last month for about 20 mins because i was that tired hahaha . . . (not because i was bored) i woke up pissed off at myself that id missed a section, but happy id avoided turning my camera on in my sleep lol

How can you always be smiling, buddy? Hope you always do. Such a change and inspiring for me! What do you call your teddy? Had to pull your leg, mate!

My Teddy? you insinuate in such a way that i could be perceived as only having one . . . ive formed a small army of them, we plan to invade ST-HQ and force updates & fixes to all, saving the day for HA-Users around the globe . . . (and then i woke up)

On a serious note, UK Users . . . i find getting few hours kip before the dev call and grabbing a coffee at 0:45am to be the best plan of attack, and straight back to sleep after . . . :slight_smile: however yes recording would be nice.

Story of my life since moving state side :smile:

Yeah, I think I remember those before I started but something we should definitely consider.

I’ll second the request to record this call. I’m state side, but my schedule doesn’t allow me to make them (or usually my memory doesn’t allow me to make them when I could). I’m really interested in what’s said or the responses given about the visual design stuff. Thanks!

After all this talk i fell asleep and missed it - the week about design too - typical :frowning:

Not to fear. @david.mccrindle spent about only twenty minutes talking about design related matters. The big takeaway was that he wanted to have a dialogue with the community, he was a customer himself, he knows what the pain points are and he wants to create focus groups to push the design forward.

Thanks for posting this, it is great for us in the UK to be able to hear the insights these calls bring. I certainly will be watching fairly regularly.
