We received reports that, more recently, TaleSpire had been taking ages to start. We tracked it down to a case where, on Windows, having mapped network drives triggered daft behavior in a library we rely on.
We have worked around that and are happy to get this to you. Of course, if startup is still slow, please let us know at http://feedback.talespire.com as we want to fix that for you.
More things are on their way. See you in the next release.
