šŸ› ļø If you haven't yet, please read the introduction and check out the bug tracker to see what we’re working on. Now onto the patch notes!

this week’s patch notes are a little bit of a format change, since we’ve got few real ā€œdeliverablesā€ and more of a vibe check. here’s a peek into the inner workings of anti software software club!

eggbug production continues apace; many new eggbugs are being discovered every single day on cohost dot org. who knows how many there are to find? not me!

as cohost dot org’s premiere influencer and tastemaker, it’s been my job to design the page that you’ll all see when we announce publicly and posters the world over flock to our little website. this week has been a little bit of a refactor on that front, because a lot of features and ideas we’ve had over the course of development have been added, changed, or fleshed out in meaningful ways.

most of the above text is a placeholder, but that said, we’d be happy to hear any feedback on my improvised tagline up there. what do you, the Cohost Poster, think needs to be in our elevator pitch? (rest assured, there’s a lot more website to see. that’s a secret still, though.)

you can give us money now! right now you don’t get anything in return, but that will be changing Soon as we finish up the first batch of actual features for cohost Plus!. the first round will mostly be smaller cosmetic things, but we’ll be expanding the feature set over time to include Larger Cosmetic Things. our goal is for cohost Plus! to always have features that, while not essential to using the website, make the experience more Fun.

also, it’s my birthday. no working on my birthday (besides writing this)

when jae and I started working on cohost, I was coming off a job where I worked often but not closely with react, and foolishly resolved that I wouldn’t work with react again; at the time react didn’t do server-side rendering very well, and we both hated the culture of single-page applications, so it was honestly a fairly reasonable choice.

through a circuitous route, we started using react again (for real, this time) right around the time we launched, and I’ve been paying the piper over the past week learning how to use parts of the react ecosystem that hadn’t filtered down to me when we started.

I’ve also been building out the internal APIs that allow us to add and remove editors to pages, which are implemented using tRPC, a typescript library for type-safe APIs, which I’m also new to. still making progress, though, and hope to land the moderator tooling by next tuesday.

thanks for using (and paying for, in numbers larger than we expected) cohost :eggbug:
