The servers are covered, TinkerAtlas stays online. Now for the rest of the climb. We're at 45% with under a week left, and closing to 100% is what funds continued work on TinkerAtlas, SindriCAD, and TinkerView into the next round.
<p class="mb 2" Hey makers,</p <p class="mb 2" Quick and honest update on where the funding month stands, because you've earned the real picture.</p <h1 class="font bold" The servers are safe</h1 <p class="mb 2" First, the good part. We've climbed to 45% of this month's goal, and that means the servers are covered. TinkerAtlas stays online. Whatever else happens this month, the lights stay on, your accounts and your work are safe, and the platform keeps running.</p <p class="mb 2" That happened because you showed up. A week ago we were sitting at 15% and well behind pace. You closed most of that gap. Thank you, genuinely.</p <h2 class="font bold" What the rest of the climb is for</h2 <p class="mb 2" Here's the honest part. Covering the servers keeps TinkerAtlas alive, but it doesn't move it forward. The rest of the goal, the climb from 45% to 100%, is what funds the actual building: continuing to develop TinkerAtlas, and pushing SindriCAD and TinkerView from reveal to release and beyond.</p <p class="mb 2" You saw both of those on the birthday stream. They exist because this community funds the time to build them. Getting to 100% this month is what keeps that going into the next round, instead of development stalling while the platform just idles along.</p <p class="mb 2" So that's the real stakes, and I'd rather say it plainly than dress it up. Servers, handled. Momentum, still up for grabs, with under a week left to decide it.</p <p class="mb 2" If you're able to help close the gap, every bit counts:</p <ul <li <p class="mb 2" PayPal: <a target=" blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text blue 600 hover:text blue 800 dark:text blue 400 dark:hover:text blue 200 underline cursor pointer transition colors underline offset 2 decoration 1 decoration current/40 hover:decoration current focus:decoration current" href="https://paypal.me/makerviking" paypal.me/makerviking</a </p </li <li <p class="mb 2" Ko fi: <a target=" blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text blue 600 hover:text blue 800 dark:text blue 400 dark:hover:text blue 200 underline cursor pointer transition colors" href="http://ko fi.com/tinkeratlas" ko fi.com/tinkeratlas</a </p </li </ul <p class="mb 2" And if now isn't the time, that's completely fine. Using the platform, sharing your projects, and bringing a maker friend along keep this community strong too. None of that costs a thing.</p <h2 class="font bold" Something to look forward to</h2 <p class="mb 2" On a lighter note: I'll be doing at least a test stream soon to put MakerDraw through its paces. It's rough and ready by design, that's the whole point of a test, but if you want a first look at what's coming and a reason to hang out, keep an eye out. I'll post the details once I lock a time.</p <p class="mb 2" Thank you for turning a slow start into a covered month. Let's see how far we can push it before the cycle closes.</p <p class="mb 2" Thomas aka MakerViking</p
