My dad was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, which understandably consumed much of my focus and energy. I’m incredibly grateful to say he’s beaten it, but the journey took its toll on everything, including my ability to show up for you the way I should have.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, I’ve been navigating significant personal changes while also dealing with poor mental health, which has made it increasingly difficult to maintain the level of communication and support that uiPress customers have come to expect. The combination led to complete burnout, and I found myself unable to engage in the way this community deserves.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’ve been working on uiPress and uiXpress for nearly five years now. These projects represent an enormous part of my life, and the thought of letting down the people who’ve supported them has been weighing heavily on me.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"moving-forward\">Moving Forward\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’m not writing this just to explain or make excuses. I’m writing because things are changing, and I’m committed to doing better.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’m feeling much better now, both personally and professionally. More importantly, I’ve brought on additional help to ensure that the support, communication, and development you expect will be consistent and reliable going forward. This isn’t just about me anymore—it’s about building a team that can serve you properly.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"uixpress-1-2-1-is-here\">uiXpress 1.2.1 Is Here\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, I’m releasing uiXpress version 1.2.1, which includes significant improvements and new features that I’m genuinely excited about. This update represents months of focused work, and I believe it demonstrates my commitment to honoring your investment in these products.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>A note on the rollout:\u003C/strong> This will be a staggered release. Version 1.2.1 is available now in your account and for new customers, but we’re holding back the direct update notification for approximately one week. This gives us time to ensure compatibility across different environments and iron out any potential issues before pushing it to everyone automatically. This cautious approach is part of our commitment to delivering quality rather than rushing updates.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rebuilding-trust\">Rebuilding Trust\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know that trust is earned, not given, and I know that I’ll need to demonstrate through consistent action that things have changed. I’m not asking you to simply accept my word—I’m asking for the opportunity to show you through improved support, better communication, and continued development that uiPress and uiXpress are in good hands.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To those of you who stuck around despite the silence: thank you. Your patience means more than you know.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To those considering whether to continue with uiPress or uiXpress: I understand your hesitation, and I’m committed to winning back your confidence.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a turning point, not just an apology. I’m here, I’m focused, and I’m supported by a team that will help ensure you get the experience you deserve.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for your understanding, and thank you for being part of this journey.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">— Mark\u003C/p>\n",false,{"rendered":18,"protected":16},"\u003Cp>I owe you an apology.
