Why Early Access?

“The Clipbase team firmly believes in the power of community-driven development. By launching Clipbase as Early Access, we aim to involve our users in the development process and create a product that truly meets their needs and expectations. We understand that user feedback is invaluable in refining features, identifying bugs, and introducing new functionality that will enhance the overall user experience.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“Clipbase is estimated to be in Early Access for 8 to 12 months. This timeframe allows us to carefully evaluate user feedback, implement new features, and address any issues that may arise during the development process. Please note that the exact duration of Early Access may be subject to change, as we prioritize delivering a high-quality, polished product that meets the needs and expectations of our user base. We will keep our community informed of our progress and any updates regarding the expected launch date.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Clipbase is envisioned to be a more polished, feature-rich, and stable product compared to the Early Access version. By incorporating user feedback, we aim to enhance the overall experience. Here are some key aspects we plan to explore during the development process:

Image Support: We plan to explore the possibility of allowing users to copy and manage images, in addition to text content, depending on user feedback and technical feasibility.

Categories and Labels: Based on user suggestions, we will consider implementing a system for categorizing and labeling clipboard items to improve organization and ease of access.

Multi-device Syncing: We aim to investigate the potential of enabling users to sync their clipboard content across multiple devices seamlessly, depending on technical constraints and user demand.

Please note that our plans may evolve during Early Access as we gather feedback from the community and focus on delivering a top-notch product. The final features and improvements will depend on user feedback, technical feasibility, and development progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Clipbase Early Access version is a fully functional and stable clipboard manager with a solid foundation of essential features. Users can already benefit from the core functionality, including:

Clipboard History: Track and access previously copied content with ease.
Smart Search: Quickly locate specific items using search and filtering options.
Keyboard Shortcuts: Streamline your workflow by using the in-app hotkeys for various actions.

As we continue developing Clipbase through Early Access, we will work closely with our user community to gather feedback, refine existing features, and introduce the additional functionalities mentioned in our development plans.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, Clipbase will be priced differently during and after Early Access. During the Early Access period, we are offering Clipbase at a special introductory price as a token of appreciation for users who support our development process and provide valuable feedback.

Once Clipbase transitions from Early Access to the full version, the price is likely to increase to reflect the added features, improvements, and overall enhanced user experience. By participating in Early Access, users can take advantage of the lower price and contribute to the development of a top-notch clipboard manager app.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Involving the community is essential for the success of Clipbase, and we believe that fostering open communication and collaboration is key. To facilitate this, we have set up a dedicated Discord server for Clipbase: https://discord.gg/mq6KAfpKGY”
