Tonight the @pan_quake Community was called on to hit our GoGetFunding.com/panquake Beta Development target by June 26th. An ambitious target but an important one. Why? Because we revealed that doing so will trigger Beta Delivery & Support phase. That means: Panquake in your hands!
The major success of April's fundraising meant in May, we brought on multiple new devs & as you'll see in the tweets that follow, those devs have performed so well that we are currently ahead of our production schedule. More project funds directly translates into faster delivery!
Thanks to YOU Panquake now has TEN paid contractors working on our project! That's why things are moving so fast! Here is May's updated Key Campaign Statistics which we transparently release to the public like clockwork on the last Saturday of every single month:
Keen followers will remember back in March we talked about having identified 128 code references for the back end build & promised there would be more. We have completed our mapping of the back end of our application: Panquake is 278 objects strong!
We completed our Organisation of Data & Methods charts. That means for EVERY single piece of data generated by our application, we know the:
* Originating source
* Object Attributes
* Where every piece is stored or passes through
* Methods of transmission
* Governance structure
But wait, there's more! We've:
* restructured our Git so it's ready to house a codebase of this magnitude in a cohesive way
* tasked devs & pairs to code every step of our dev pathways
Now we're scoping our service components & config specs because coding phase begins June 5th!
The extensive, professional & thorough planning & documentation produced in the Panquake build means our devs already have most of their code elements at hand - it's now simply a matter of piecing them together. This means our code phase will be MUCH smoother than other projects!
Now - on the front end:
In previous months we've given a high level overview of the development pathway for our user interface. This month, since we've begun showing it to select media & influencers (under NDA), we're comfortable getting more specific about what's been achieved:
As for next steps in the UI dev process: here's what we have completed drafts but not yet final screens for:
Now comes 2 HUGE announcements: what Panquake will be getting up to in June -
1. Launching "Talk Liberation TV" hosted by @_taylorhudak - a weekly investigative deep dive into global news events relating to Big Tech censorship, surveillance, privacy, security & freedom of speech

In this month's State of the Business report, we presented an open letter from our Social Media Coordinator to the @pan_quake community:
Given all that has been accomplished with your support, it's incredible to think that in only 4 months we have gone from "do you want this? Can we do it?" to serious production progress, to delivery planning.
Panquake is a major win for humankind & we don't hope: we deliver!
You answered "if" there would be a @pan_quake: in the coming weeks, you'll answer "when".
We're here working our butts off dawn til dusk (& beyond) every single day & it's your support & advocacy that gives us the strength to do this.
All the latest news & updates on PQ development progress, including the exciting announcement that we are now ready to show the world the look & feel of the PQ interface!

You may have noticed the recent tweet by @JohnKiriakou endorsing PQ.
John is one of the first people in the world to see the PQ application working & described it as 'futuristic'.
It was huge for us to get to demo PQ for him in this way & we can't wait til you can see it too!
Ppl constantly ask me for my opinion on what is going on. When I give it, many assume I am coming from a fixed position. Actually, every single day I consume the following:
I also watch all the press conferences, be they pro or anti Western position
When you review such a spectrum of media content on a regular basis you see the way single events are skewed not just by one of two sides, but by every single outlet
They ALL have their own slants

I also watch both left & right wing podcasts & you tube shows. I follow & watch people I like and ideologically align with AND those who I don't, every single day
Living in Russia, I also have real world experience/perspective
As for @Panquake dev progress last month we revealed our interface had functioning elements in place. This month, the core structural components are basically complete
Our drag & drop panels move around & reset correctly & are now customizable - resizable, pop-outable & more
First thing I see: the site uses tracking cookies.
Second thing I see: it collects email addresses & phone numbers.
Third thing I see: Advertising on its dashboard.
That isn't alternative social media.
It's the same old data surveillance rehashed.
Having a closer look. Here's their privacy policy. Which is basically an anti-privacy policy.
GETTR is registered in the United States & thus subject to US jurisdiction.
So, it's Parler 2.0.
After some lip service to claiming they only collect what you voluntarily give them (incl your SEARCHES!), scroll down a little bit further & find they actually fingerprint your browser, device & router info
(Panquake is engineered to avoid capturing of ANY of this information)
Last week, we hit our Phase 2 funding target of 167k and launched Phase 3, where we will raise an additional 500k to complete the service delivery of the product. More details about this later.
Incidentally, to celebrate Phase 3 I got some cool new graphic templates :P

In terms of general campaign progress, we're ecstatic to have the final goalposts in sight and will work to meet the final target as fast as possible.
In the meantime, we are progressing the blockchain build & performing the BETA delivery vetting for our first 5,000 users
