With all of the changes Tumblr has been making, and the Xkit developers constant work being continuously broken, I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands. I am currently in the development stages of bringing all the wanted aspects of role playing to an accessible, aesthetically pleasing social networking website (and mobile app) with customization features, full markup support, user layouts, internal messaging, archiving, organization and customization, groups, badge systems, ability to add multiple characters to a single account (child accounts), message as selected characters, build communities and rate the health of them, set writing goals, earn badges when reaching goals, etc.
SOOOO, without further ado… Attention developers, coders, writers, techies, anyone interested in helping at all regardless of previous experience. If you don’t code, that’s okay. I literally could use help anywhere. Seriously, if you’re a Virgo, you could help me organize this crap on GitHub (I’ve been so focused on code I haven’t even compiled it all in a single public area yet). I need writers to write content, artists to create content, graphic designers, curators, idea havers, dreamers, makers, etc. If you want to help, I have a job for you. If you have ideas, send them to me. If you have features you want, share them!
Developer experience is always a plus and helps things get done faster! Background knowledge with Firebase or AWS, electron, node.js, HTML, CSS, jSon and react. C++ and SQL experience would be helpful too! The more developers, the better.
I’m starting a discord server here called Rolescape (that’s the current proposed name of the app/site, but I’m open to ideas since I suck at them!), so feel free to join and get a conversation started and I’ll do my best to compile the necessary things everyone needs in order to contribute. Come and hang out, chat, complain, make friends, whatever. Like I said, the more help, the better!
This is in the very beginning stages, however I already have a layout coded and just need help implementing different ideas and handling the logistics ends of things (connecting the site to a server, deploying mobile apps, getting ideas structured, etc). This is a volunteer opportunity and I will be spending money out of pocket for this project, and eventually I will be posting a gofundme for contributions.
