How to Keep In Touch
We're really busy getting PrizeForge shipped. You can find us on a variety of social services, mainly reaching out to recruit, get feedback, and develop our message.
PrizeForge will have some really awesome communication features. They are also harder to build. In the meantime, we set up the PrizeForge sub-reddit. When our communication features ship, there will be a learning curve. We will refine the design. People will have problems that are difficult to surface. Sometimes, a familiar platform is the best way to get oriented. We will continue using the sub as a side-channel for out-of-band communication. It is Reddit. Reddit is eccentric and tempermental, but relatively open.
YouTube
We developed parts of our message through feedback on YouTube, developing Emacs tutorials of all things. The CEO uses Emacs. Our plan is to make PrizeForge work in communities we already know well because we are members of them. We can directly affect the success of these communities, and that lets us close the feedback loop on PrizeForge, building software people use directly. We will continue to use the platform to provide commentary on the landscape, to point our users towards where we expect to succeed together. Subscribe to keep up with our development and feature introductions.
GitHub
Since we're using Rust for basically everything we can get away with, we are naturally accumulating a lot of know-how with our tech stack. We want people to be good at what we use. We want our tools to accumulate that natural incidental value from other people being successful with the same tools. We will continue to be active in editor relations, including structural Editing of Rust and integration of Rust with Emacs. You can follow our organization to see when we put out new repos for tools we use that become ready to open source.
In the beginning, we validated parts of our message by chasing Github Sponsors. We plan to reward our past sponsors when we have the freedom to do so. We will soon be inviting all of the sponsors over to PrizeForge and turning off that system of payment. Every hamburger was a bright light in the darkest room. Your feedback told us that enough of the message made sense to keep going.
