cohost patch notes vol. 50: you try coming up with titles for these. it's hard

wednesday wednesday wednesday. we’ve done 50 of these and i’m running out of ways to introduce them. whatever, you know the format by now.

quick note before we continue: we’ve disabled the ability to “pause collection” on cohost plus subscriptions. we misunderstood the function and it turns out several of you have been getting plus for free! whoops! that’s our bad. no one’s in trouble (except eggbug, who gave us bad financial advice) but we will be cancelling the subscriptions of everyone with paused collection. you can resubscribe whenever you want.

patch notes time for real now.

finalized funding for the first half of the year!
- our growth has been so spiky lately that we opted to only fund the first 6 months in this pass so that we have more data on how growth will stabilize by the time we need to revisit.
- same funder as before, same terms as before (it’s a bond, they do not have any ownership stake in the company.)
  - afaik, they still want to be anonymous (to y’all. we obviously know who they are) but they are active on the website enjoying the fruits of their funding.
- we’ll talk more about this in the next financial update
  - i just remembered that i forgot to write the january financial update. whoops. gonna get that out soon.
Fixed a bug where .beat timestamps were off by one
- Also added centibeats.

Thanks for making Cohost!

my internet time experience has been massively improved :host-joy:

can't believe the mysterious funder posts among us...srs thx tho to whoever it is

edit: I feel like they should have cohost Plus! Ultra or something lol, just a visual change only they get on their settings screen ofc

I think the titles for patchnotes should take the light novel path. Be the entire patchnotes. Also be 400,000 words, and still be considered a light novel / patch notes.

td;lr they accidentally fucked up and forgot to collect money from customers, and also took out another loan

jae @jkap2/15/2023, 9:45 PM

Is there a special prize for the first person who manages to make a post at @420.69?

Misty @dog2/15/2023, 10:08 PM

This is how I found out there’s a @420

I left Cohost, see bio for details @AriaSalvatrice2/15/2023, 10:14 PM

Yet somehow the other funny number remains up for grabs

mint @mintexists2/15/2023, 10:32 PM

usernames need to be 3 letters at least iirc?

Misty @dog2/15/2023, 10:46 PM

@69 forever out of reach…

vivian lim ⭐@viv2/15/2023, 9:57 PM

it makes so much sense that the mystery funder would be a person who would use cohost. i guess i'm just used to thinking of funders as abstract entities who want nothing but number going up

thank you @staff for including what eggbug did this week (eggbug gave bad financial advice) i appreciate it

"it turns out several of you have been getting plus for free! whoops!" got me thinking about illicit underground cohost groupchats where people pass around Illegal Cohost Info. hope those dont exist lol

@Cycloneblaze2/16/2023, 5:43 PM

what did pausing collection mean? aside from free plus, of course

Xoey @CandyCorvid2/19/2023, 2:18 AM

I'm not @staff but I read that as (edit: intended as) like a "temporarily unsubscribe". so like, you stop paying for a time, and you lose your Cohost PLUS benefits for that time, and then if you want to start paying and getting PLUS again you'd just unpause.
