Hidden Point Studio • Founder Preview Access
Founder Preview Lab
Early-access testing space for Founder members, preview-key holders, and trusted BeaconWP testers. This is where unfinished modules, experimental tools, alpha builds, beta features, and release-candidate work can be reviewed before they become public releases.
Use this lab for
- Testing preview modules before public release
- Reporting install, activation, and UI issues
- Suggesting practical feature improvements
- Voting on what should move forward first
- Helping shape BeaconWP module priorities
Before posting feedback
Include the preview module name, version number, WordPress version, BeaconWP version, testing environment, steps to reproduce, and whether the issue happened on a live or staging site.
Preview rules
Preview modules are not final products. Do not use unstable tools on production client sites unless the module is clearly marked as beta, release candidate, or production-ready.
Experimental Modules
Early working builds that may change quickly. Best for technical testers and Founder members who want to influence direction before polish begins.
Near-Usable Modules
Modules with real workflows that need broader testing, edge-case discovery, admin polish, and compatibility feedback.
Future Build Ideas
Proposed tools, modules, packs, and platform features that may be shaped by Founder demand and practical use cases.
Founder Preview Lab Discussion
Discuss unfinished modules, report bugs, suggest improvements, vote on priorities, and help decide what moves toward beta or public release.
