The week actually ended on a high note.
The previous app update finally went out, bringing translation support along with a bunch of new languages.
We also sent a newsletter and received a few replies from customers.
Positive ones.
Always nice to see.
Finished work early on Friday and made a conscious decision to spend the weekend not thinking about Hydra at all.
Then Saturday night happened.
Support emails started coming in.
Apparently online sync had decided it no longer wanted to behave and devices weren’t receiving updates from the online database in real time.
All hands on deck.
This was an emergency.
Most of Saturday night disappeared into debugging. Then most of Sunday followed.
Monday arrived and we were still chasing the problem.
On Tuesday, we finally figured out what was actually happening.
The fix itself wasn’t particularly complicated.
The investigation was.
It’s funny how these things work.
Figuring out why something is happening almost always takes significantly longer than fixing it.
Promised an update by the end of the week.
Released it on Wednesday.
Not too shabby.
