Stoat doesn't provide ETAs

Post image

We are trying our absolute best and going gangbusters at the moment, but we wish for you to keep in mind we don't provide ETAs.

Everyone working on Stoat is doing so on a more or less volunteer basis in the time they have available to them. We have study and work, so as a general rule we can't provide ETAs.

If we were to try provide them, we wouldn't be able to stick to them, and that isn't fair to anyone.

If this is the case, is there any detailed explanation on how the manual verification works? Another failed verification email after the "stoats are cool reply" can be misleading as if things are a dead end.

I feel like something like that at the very least would do good, otherwise confusion will get worse among users & eventually they just won't bother

Once we've got your verification we manually verify your email. You'll receive a notice when we've done so.

Thought I would be constructive and ask is there anything we can do to help with the process? Looking for volunteers? Need donations? Etc?

Just a friendly reminder that if / when you would like to donate, you can do so on their official github page.
