Hola,
In May we revised our PickyLinks official launch timeline. Except now with the official timeline. But the changes we made won't delay, it is aimed to get Links out earlier!
Currently-July: At the writing of this article, we just released BetaRelease:10-3. We downsized this update, so we can roll out new content in stages, so BetaRelease:10-4 is next.
Also in July: We expect to release demo pictures of what the official PickyLinks may look like. (Those images will be released in a Dev Blog article)
By Late July: We will announce and release the Beta of the official PickyLinks. The first open tests will be conducted.
Early August: We'll smash bugs and fix major problems if present.
In August: We expect to release the next Beta snapshot. (adding more functions, content, and tidying up.)
Once again by Late August: We'll smash bugs and make possible changes.
By September: We expect to publish the last major snapshot for PickyLinks Beta. It will be close to official and will test much bigger features and mechanics.
In Late September: We will add fixes and quality of life changes.
In Early October: We will probably add official UI, UX, performance changes, clean up, and the final tests of features.
Then by November 2021, will be the launch month of the official PickyLinks!
This is very likely the last MAJOR PickyLinks timeline change. We have made it so we can confidently say we can get you the official PickyLinks two months earlier!
Q: Will normal PickyLinks be receiving updates will the official is being worked on?
A: Probably. Though, most of our focus will be on the official version.

Q: Can anyone be a beta tester?
A: Yes! This experience will be made with the help of you guys. Because you will be able to give us direct feedback. No registry required to be a beta tester.

Q: Will the sites.google.com/view/ URL be going away with the official?
A: It is our goal to get rid of the pesky long URL PickyLinks has.
