Here it is! January Public Delivery Thread!

Sorry this is a couple of days late due to IRL hiccups with filming but the presentation was prepared on time so all stats are accurate as of Jan 31st

Read on for all the news about our progress over the course of the last month

1/

We are in Phase 3 (of 3) for funding @Panquake. Once we hit the target, we won't need to fundraise anymore & BETA will be delivered!

We're still accepting BETA applications here: panquake.com/5000

@tl_eng catapulted forward with @seanodiggity's GETTR investigation

2/

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

3/

The upshot of the above is that @Panquake is delivering on our promise of next generation design

PQ users will be able to rearrange their interface to make it look however they want it to rather than being forced into a one-size-fits-all preset UI like every other platform

4/

We know the big question on everyone's lips is always "When?" - without necessarily realizing the answer to "When?" is determined by funding progress. In the interim, we're releasing some of our internal near-term delivery dates for key components we're currently working on

5/

We are releasing our WLDragnet app code as Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) in a public git repo this week. The codebase was security & peer reviewed by some of the best in the business & the git has already been prepped for publishing. Final DB sign-off inc then good to go

6/

The release is significant because it's a rare opportunity to combat social media mass surveillance & political repression of citizens

Also significant because it's proof the @Panquake dev team have the skills & follow-through to design, build & release innovative software

7/

As you may know, we transparently release our @tl_eng stats every month. January saw a 300% increase in free subscriptions, due to MSM citing our publication. Percentage of paid subs lower for the same reason. Opening rate up a whopping 5%.

TL content is undeniably engaging

8/

To recap:

We achieved our Phase 1 goal to establish the business infrastructure

We achieved our Phase 2 goal to fund the BETA

Next up: 1 last big effort to reach our Phase 3 goal to fund the service teams who will staff the product launch & support our users going forward

9/

We also ask that you please don't forget @eynelys, our Operations Manager, who was taken from us in a tragic accident last October

@seanodiggity & I spoke at her memorial service last week which was deeply moving

She will never be forgotten by our team

Thus concludes our January Public Delivery. The full event video is available for viewing here:
