One more "private" day

Posted by Deimos (edited )
Tags: official

Alright, I'm going to take one more "private" day. I want to work on a few more of the high-priority items, and write up a bit more on the docs site related to questions that people have asked me so far, and information that still isn't very clear.

I'll make at least another post or two later today in ~tildes with specific info for features, then let's plan to start trying to get some public attention tomorrow (edit: to be clear, the site is staying invite-only, just attention for the announcement post, I mean).

If you want some invite codes today to quietly invite a few more people, just let me know and I can give you some.

    Are we worried about too much attention too quickly? Tbh I think that’s a bigger concern than attracting any attention at all. Many predecessors seemed to have fizzled under the weight of the masses. I want this place to grow and be successful but would hate to see it suffer a similar fate.

      Oh sorry, I'm probably being unclear about what "going public" means. The site is going to stay invite-only for quite a while, so we'll have a lot more control over that than a lot of other sites...

      Oh sorry, I'm probably being unclear about what "going public" means. The site is going to stay invite-only for quite a while, so we'll have a lot more control over that than a lot of other sites have. I definitely don't intend to make it possible for anyone to sign up for quite a while, there's a ton of features and systems that need to be added before that's even a consideration.

      I just mean announcing it publicly so we don't have to treat it like a secret any more, and giving everyone some invites to keep a reasonable stream of new people coming in.

        Also can you redirect me to the post about donations? I can’t find it and wanna give this place a bump.

        Cool. I knew that from EN keeping me in the loop, but I just wasn’t sure how liberal you planned to be about the invites. Great to hear - thanks for responding!
