This is the long awaited alpha build for Snakeoil - Blind Testing. The music players in this release are the same as that from 1.0.8. Almost everything else is different. Blind Testing is now built using a new Angular 5 framework called ngx-admin from Akveo. Note that there are a lot more blank spaces around the WebApp now. That's by design as ultimately this page is supposed to be viewed from a tablet device.
Another thing you might have noticed is the firmware files are now smaller - much smaller. The WebApp is overally more responsive too
.
Before we celebrate, please know that right now this firmware is currently considered unstable.
There could be problems as there are a lot of new features and changes. Although I need people to test this firmware, please try this firmware only if you are relatively comfortable with computers. It should also be safe for you to roll back to Golden Ears if you want.
You may need to refresh the page multiple times to clear any old cache with this upgrade. Just keep pressing CTRL+F5 or SHIFT+F5 until this page shows up.
There are a lot of new features in this alpha. You can find out what the changes are by looking at the 1.1.0 roadmap. You can also check out the new WebApp online.

Here're some things you need to know when reading this roadmap:
- Items that have been crossed out (crossed out) means they have been implemented.
- The other items are still unfinished.
- Items tagged with [installed] refers to the ISO install image and not this firmware
- This list is dynamic. Bugs can be added as I found 'em, and features will be added/removed based on my available time.
- A lot of the features are not documented in the Snakeoil manual yet. But I hope they are intuitive enough for you to understand what they are.
Please post in this thread if you have any comments or issues.
Lastly, I still need about 90 subscribers and 4000 views for my YouTube channel. This is still a big hill to climb so I appreciate all the help I can get. Please let your inner circle know about Snakeoil, and encourage them to try out the software. Don't forget to ask them to view the lousy videos and subscribe to the channel.
There are some things I can't do without getting those numbers (e.g. add a card into my video). So appreciate every subscriber/view I can get from you guys. My last video has earned 7 thumbs down because I can't add text into the video
