Two Weeks to Reach Our $200/month Funding Goal
We are at $145/month with two weeks to go to the October 1 cutoff, my friends! (see our discord #announcements for more detail)
Thank you so much for your willingness to pitch in and use the app!
Let's be real, it's seeming like we might not make it, and it will be a challenge to sustain the $200/month goal in an ongoing way. This truly is an acceptable outcome, to me. I've had incredible fun building this app, and participating in the races we've been able to run with it. I think ACC lacks a unified place where race results and lap data is federated and accessible. I tried to build that, but it's the kind of thing where you only see the full benefit when you have a network effect with thousands of people and hundreds of servers. Crowd-funding to keep it alive for our use and continuity was not something I actually wanted to do, but I was asked to give it a try.
I do appreciate all your donations, and they have significantly helped cover costs for the last two months.
If we don't make it by October 1, there will be a 30-day grace period to use all your server credits. I will shutdown servers October 31, as well as the patreon account to stop your future contributions.
Are there any of you still out there that use Racetrim's app and feel compelled to keep it online, available, and uninterrupted? Please find your way to the Patreon and set up a recurring monthly subscription. I'm willing to be surprised by a last minute dash to the finish line. Thank you for reading! Thank you for racing here!
