Oh. Time to get coding then!

Any updates to this app? Any plans to update it or replace it? It's still VERY VERY basic.
A couple of things I could really use are:
- Import phone numbers and names
- Send "bulk" to the people I've entered.

Version 1.1 is going to be released in about 2 weeks. It will include:
- Upload Contacts via CSV
- Search - Ability to search through messages & contacts
- Automated image scaling for images that run larger than 1.5Mb
- Giphy Integration - Send Giphys in SMS!
- Send Emojis - Send Emojis!
- Templates - Have pre-set messages that can be sent with a click of a mouse
- Archive Conversations - Ability to close a conversation and hide it from view
- Bulk SMS Sending - Ability to send 1 message to multiple recipients via some kind of Queue. We're calling it announcements
- Auto Replies - Be able to automatically reply to a new message
- Schedule Sending SMS - Ability to deliver an SMS at a pre-set time
- Email Notifications - Ability to notify users that they’ve received an SMS by email using end-user supplied SMTP servers
- Postcards Updater - Add the ability to update from one version of Postcards to the next version
I wouldn't say that it is a "Demo App." We do want people to be able to use it as a solid solution, but it's not our company's focus. If you have some development expertise, you can fork it and expand on it. Otherwise you have to just wait for us to give it some TLC. We are going to try to do twice a year updates on it.

How that timeline coming?
-
@JasGot It was technically released today - so you should be able to install it and start using it now. We'll be doing the formal announcement on Monday (apparently there is a small known bug that our developers want to fix before we release it).
Feel free to spin one up and try it - but I'd suggest waiting until you get the formal email on Monday before putting it in production. I don't personally know what the bug was.

Will the install documentation be updated too?
-
@JasGot I don’t believe the install methods have changed. So the existing guides should work.
-
Okay - it's official. New version is out:

Shut up Aaron.
-
Just tested, working great on Ubuntu.
-
@JaredBusch Oops

@JaredBusch Oops
The Fedora 32 problem is this.
https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/955
So not your fault.But for CentOS 8 I did not spend any time looking into it.
-
Changed the Vultr Instance to Fedora 31. The install worked fine, but it failed to build.
-
So the CentOS 8 problem and the Fedora 32 problem both stem from this.
This is 100% a docker problem.
So @Skyetel can we get a non-docker install method "supported"
-
also, how do I submit bug reports in bitbucket? I don't see anything like the normal "issues" in gitlab or github.
