Hey y’all.

It’s been a few weeks since the last update on all our progress, huh? Granted, I tried to keep people up to date on all the changes—specifically in our Discord server, which you should totally join—but I didn’t really take the time to sit down and write out a whole blog post. But time sure flies when you’re deep in the trenches, and boy did a lot of things get fixed under the hood these last few weeks.

But now it’s finally time: after nearly three years of development, several dozen headaches, and plenty of design re-re-re-evaluations, the thing we’ve all been waiting for is ready and raring to go.

Welcome to the Offprint Open Beta

This has been a long time in the making. The team and I are incredibly happy to finally get this into everyone’s hands and open the floodgates for the people left waiting on the sidelines for a more stable, more complete experience. We’re so psyched to see what you all do with this platform now and into the future, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve got planned next.

A great many thanks to all our alpha testers, too! Without y’all’s support, I doubt we would be here right now. We’re truly, truly grateful for y’all’s willingness to stick through all the mess, and we hope you guys most of all can enjoy the fruits of that labor.

With our graduation from Alpha to Beta, the fundamental featureset of Offprint is now in place. Now, this doesn’t mean Offprint is finished—that’s why it’s an Open Beta, after all. There’s still plenty of stuff in the pipeline for everyone to enjoy, such as:

  • User-created Groups
  • Profile Badges
  • Private Messages
  • Trending Works
  • A Robust Recommendations System
  • Special Events
  • And an absolute ton more

And we seriously can’t wait to show you guys every single one of those!

The team and I are ready for this next leg of our journey, and we hope you all are ready, too! We can’t wait to see the many great things that’ll come out of this community now and into the future. Invite your friends—readers and writers alike—to experience the open source writing community of the future, so we can all grow this platform of ours together.

And if you wanna throw some support our way, that would be most appreciated. Check out our Patreon and Ko-Fi if you’d like to donate—we will never run ads so long as it’s financially viable for us not to, so your donations go a long way to keeping the lights on.

So without further ado, it’s time to get this party started.

— Your friendly neighborhood existential crisis
