Thank you, early supporters
Published on February 5, 2021 by Heydon Pickering

Imagine being so cool that you """adopted""" THIS early.


Just wanted to say a big cheeeeers (I'm British) for the support and to give you a quick impression of what's to come.


Currently I'm working on a video about Indieweb. This one is mostly the story of the sorry state we're in; a history of the corporatization of the web. But with tips on how to help move away from this and decentralize.


I am thinking a lot about perks for support. I'm not sure how to do this with Open Collective, but with Patreon I could message folks by support tier and link them to goodies. Any ideas on how to go about this are welcome. Some ideas on what I would include:


  • A high quality version of the video to download, so you can watch it offline.
  • The "license" to screen the video in your conferences, meetups, and classes.
  • A full transcript, in HTML and PDF formats, with "show notes" that add clarifications and resources inline.
  • Maybe... collectible cards featuring some of the characters from the videos, with stats like "Years React Experience" so you can play Top Trumps (may be a purely British reference).


Anyway, food for thought. Dunno if you can DM me here, but I'm @heydonworks on Twitter.
