The Snap website has been teasing a "new everything" coming soon since August 2014. Since that time the only new thing I've spotted is a slightly tweaked logo. Time to shelve the "coming soon" graphic, or is there really something in the pipeline?

I was just thinking the same yesterday.

From their website:

"The brand refresh is set to be a gradual roll-out, with a brand new Snap website being the largest project, due for completion later this year."

Since that was posted in August last year, they've definitely missed that deadline.

Perhaps operating on Valve Time, which means "soon" is anywhere from 2 months to..... 9 years.

Given how long static ipv6 prefixes have been 'coming soon' for I'm pretty sure snap has their own dictionary with a very different definition of 'soon' to the rest of us.

They're waiting for confirmation of Half-Life 3 before they finish.

Just emailed them about this again today, still no ETA. I've been asking for over 3 years now...

They run on Valve Time obviously.
