 ## Status
 
-Ensemble is currently "pre-alpha": it's really more of a demo at this point. There's a lot of things I need to work on and until then it is unlikely I will be taking any code contributions. You are welcome to try it out (especially if you have a Vision Pro, as I do not) and file issues or suggestions but you should probably reach out if you are looking for anything beyond that. The code is definitely not designed for general-purpose use yet, so don't expect much of it :)
+Ensemble is in alpha and not yet ready for daily use. If you would like to try it out, the easiest way to do so would be to [join the TestFlight](https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pq1HzHqe). However, there are a lot of things I still need to work on and it is likely that the app may break or crash if you push it too hard. Feel free to file bugs if you encounter anything that doesn't work as it should. Do note that I am already tracking some limitations as issues already :)

+If you so desire, the app should be fairly straightforward to build yourself using Xcode. It does not require any third-party dependencies (some utility libraries are pulled in using Swift Package Manager). All you probably need to do is to [update the build settings](https://github.com/saagarjha/Ensemble/blob/main/Configs/Deployment.xcconfig) with your signing information. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that I will take any code contributions at the moment as the codebase is not really ready for them. However, if you want to try out your own changes locally or test a recent commit that's not in the release builds yet it's there as an option for you (although I don't expect GitHub and TestFlight to diverge too much, as I have a CI pipeline that synchronizes them).
