Monthly Status Update - November 2022

December 1, 2022

Hello, welcome to this month's status update post. Here I will be sharing what's been going on with AnimeThemes.moe, where we are heading, how to help, and inviting feedback.

Funding

The listing of last month's account balances and posted transactions can be found here.

Our operational expenses decreased by ~$10 and our rolling balance decreased by ~$30.

Our cushion at our current level of funding covers the deficit for another 12 months before we run out of funds.

Please consider supporting us on Patreon or Ko-fi if you have the ability to. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project thus far!

We have also set up a Bitcoin address if you prefer to send crypto: bc1qg682txpazfqhh50uq2xmvh5pn99c95dujd7sy5

If you want another way to support us, we were given a referral link on our DO account. We get kickback if new users sign up and spend $25 USD (You get a $100 credit that expires in 60 days). If anyone was thinking of using this platform for their own hosting needs, please use our link:

AnimeThemes.moe Development - Playlists Release

This was a slow month for our development effort due to availability and onboarding new staff. Some smaller items were addressed for this effort.

We still anticipate another month or two for completion.

animethemes-api-docs

No changes

Backfilling Efforts

Nothing to report this month.

If you are interested in helping us with these efforts, please reach out. These are time-consuming efforts and we can benefit from having more volunteers here, especially with anison data.

Misc

Mod applications are still open. We have begun onboarding applicants as of this month. Now more than ever with our efforts widening and less of our team being active, we need some help delegating tasks out. Please consider joining the team!

The backup torrent was updated 2022-10-01. The links can be found in the discord and in the one place you should be able to find. The next update will be on 2023-01-01. Seeding is appreciated.

Please consider helping out with our Encoding efforts. We can always use more help there.

We are still looking to staff at least 25 editors to help us backfill and build out our database. If you are interested in helping out, please reach out to para here or on the discord. We have a detailed description of the role in our #help_wanted channel on the discord.

Next Month Priorities

Continuing work on the SPA conversion and design of user playlists.

Wrap-up

Please feel free to discuss anything related to these items or anything else related to the project with us in accompanying social media posts, especially anything we may have forgotten. Feedback on the structure of these posts is welcomed too. Thanks again, everyone!
