Rafi: Private Messaging Update?

Discourse.org for $100/month? Yikes!

@Jeff Schodde Not if you use your own server through DigitalOcean ($5 month at cheapest)

Hey BlinqChat,

I got an opportunity to talk to a WIX designer (X) who is responsible for new private messaging feature on last week of March. At that time X said it is just in initial stage of UX designing phase. So I guess it will take some time for them to release the feature to public .

You can see a small road map of features that are going to be released soon here. I guess the new private messaging feature will be released along with the wix chat API feature in the road map. So maybe 3-6 months more.

I would recommend you to wait if possible before going away from wix. I agree wix has lot of easily solvable problems now. But these are solvable problems. And if you wait I am sure they are gonna solve it and there are also lot of great features coming !!!!

@Wix team...... its really bad that we are not getting any approx approx ETA of features that are going to be released. This will only make our (customers) plans difficult and maybe also result in lose of your customers in future due to uncertainty.

@Nithin

Thank you very much for that explanation. Wix has its good features but I'm switching over to a different forum platform. Best of luck to all of you.

Hi guys,

Private messaging is in the works, its closer then you think (Nithin - I don't know why you decided its going to be 3-6 months, no one ever said such thing)

BlinqChat I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving, I'll suggest to wait a little bit more.

Hi Rafi,

My prediction was based on the wix code wix chat API road map. And moreover the product manger for wix chat told me they are just finalizing the wix chat visual design layout. So i thought it will take at least 3 months to release.(The issues with NO ETA Policy #uncertainity #hope #frustration #stress #planning) But if its coming earlier....Its well and good :) .... Thanks
