Thanks for joining Just About! Let's get started...
How to find your feet, our goals, and our progress towards them
Hey everyone
If you’re reading this, you're a supporter of the Just About Alpha, so the first order of business is a massive ‘thank you’ for your interest. The second is to tell you what we’re trying to do and why, and catch you up on the latest steps to get there. This week we took a big one: we launched our first game-centric community!
Welcome to Just About
The internet is broken. Every week there’s another story about a platform alienating its members - the very people they should be listening to, because their wit and wisdom is the reason people come back. To borrow the icky commodifying language we prefer to avoid, a platform’s community is its value, its USP, its ‘product’ (ick).
It’s past time fans had a platform run by people who, when they say nicer words like ‘collaboration, transparency, accountability, and fairness’, actually mean them. These are our core values and they’re built into Just About at its foundation (as hopefully you can see, as the foundations are still preeeetty visible). Our spaces launch with the intent to hand them to communities. Our unique bounty system is just one method, of what will be many, for members to earn real money from conduct and contributions. You’ll find Just About staff are friendly and fully forthcoming when quizzed about what we’re doing.
On which note, sincere thanks to members of the EVE Partner Discord who’ve been chatting to us there. Your questions and feedback are super helpful to us and you’ll soon see that they’ll have a material impact on the future of the platform. Speaking of which…
Where we’re at
We just launched our first game-centric community, Just About EVE Online, where we get to put a lot of our big ideas into practice especially around bounties. We’ve got almost 60 scheduled for the next several weeks, with several thousand dollars’ worth of rewards attached.
It’s a big step forward that puts us at pace with our 2023 roadmap, which you should check out if you’re curious about the future. As well as more platform features and fewer bugs, you’ll see more communities launching very soon, each applying the lessons we’ve learned from EVE.
Thanks for reading and thanks once again for signing up. If you’ve any further questions about what we’re all just about, see our welcome thread. Activity is steady and increasing now that EVE is live and the vibes are very friendly, so come on in, poke around, and say hi! We’ll see you soon.
