fujocoded: (boba-tan sparkle)

This has been a busy 8 days and so much has happened!

FujoCoded LLC's goal of covering our registration costs for this year, paying a lawyer to draft contracts for our artists, and paying a contractor to help us make our online store a reality was met in 3 days!

But we didn't stop there!

We kept pushing and with our backer's help we've unlocked all but our final three stretch goals and one social goal.

A chart to track the campaign progress, styled a bit like a health bar or a mercury thermometer. The image has a purple gradient, and a blue, purple, and hot pink outline. The monospace text is in neon blue and hot pink. The FujoCoded lemon logo is lit up in yellow. Our first goal might be done, but our mission isn’t! Alternating between “fun” (merch) and “functional” (programming articles), our stretch goals deliver both value and entertainment! $3,000—Reached! $4,000—Shipper at work (AO3 edition) Reached! $5,000—Close the JavaScript gap Reached! $6,000—Website Art Prints $7,000—Catching up with Terminal $8,000—Crucial confrontations

Unlocked Achievements & Stretch Goals

  • FUJIN Option t-shirt and tote (Share Our Announcement posts 200 times)
  • Fujin Sticker Unlock (45 Backers)
  • Shipper At Work: AO3 Version ($4000 Raised)

Our Current Achievements & Stretch Goals

With so many goals already met you might be wondering what's left.

Let's Find A Lawyer - Social Unlock

In the last two days of our campaign, you can help us get one more step ahead by sharing our posts seeking lawyers on socials. It turns out that US business laws are incredibly complicated and honestly, sometimes, counterintuitive. We're trying to make sure we do things both the legal way and in a way that aligns with our values.

What exactly are we looking for? You can see the full requirements here, but in short we need:

  • help navigating employment law, particularly when it comes to contractors and community members who are eager to contribute
  • contracting outside of the US in Canada (easy?) and Argentina (not as easy)
  • Help with drafting documents like Terms of Service, agreements for contributions to software, etc

Because this is such a big deal we're offering a triple threat unlock if you help us share our posts on socials We're unlocking a new shirt, fujoboard, and another sticker design!

Art Prints - $6000 Stretch Goal

Love the art on our website? Want your very own copy to hang in your room? The help us hit $6000 and you can toss a set of not one, not two, but three art prints into your add-on list. The last we checked we were less than $200 away from this goal!

Terminal Article - $7000 Stretch Goal

Help budding developers overcome their fear of the terminal (also called the shell or command line). Next to Git and GitHub, unfamiliarity with terminal is the next biggest gap that people find daunting about modern web development. Even choosing the "right" application to use (PowerShell? Command Line? What is Git Bash?!) can seem overwhelming.

Back us today and get us that much closer to adding another critical article.

Crucial Confrontations Article - $8000 Stretch Goal

And now an offering very near and dear to our hearts: an article unlocking the wisdom of Crucial Confrontations. This seems like an odd choice, but it shows our commitment to improving accessibility to knowledge that makes collaboration easier.

After years of working within our community, we repeatedly found that developing effective communication and confrontation skills helps our collaborators thrive. Unfortunately, the world doesn't teach us how to effectively (but kindly) hold each other accountable.

Some of our most involved collaborators have read this book and found the tools within it transformative. Given this experience, we deeply believe that making some of this wisdom easily accessible (without having to read the full book) will allow all of us to collaborate better!

Thank you so much for all of your support! And if you haven't done so yet, please head over to BackerKit and pledge today.

P.S. Earlier today denise (yes DW denise) shared our campaign on Bluesky and said some lovely things. You can see her post here. It made us feel so proud that senpai noticed us.

It’s April 1st! You know what that means: time to do things that are both real AND ridiculous, just to keep your followers on their toes.


It's April 1st! You know what that means: time to do things that are both real AND ridiculous, just to keep your followers on their toes.

Introducing.... a company. A whole new company.

✨🍋FujoCoded, LLC✨

Last year, we took a bold step by fundraising for a fan-friendly guide to modern web development. Today, it's time for our next step: establishing a sustainable way forward by formalizing our ongoing work under a real company with an official mission!

FujoCoded LLC's mission is to <>build a kinder, more diverse, more collaborative–and unapologetically weirder–internet.

Our main focuses:

  • Education, which gives people the skills to be the change they want to see on the web.
  • Software, which gives people the tools to make such changes.
  • Community, which gives people the strength, structure, and support to see those changes through.

...but just like last year, to get this new company started right we need your help. You could even say we NEED YOUR SEED….

💦💦💦🌱💦💦💦🌱💦💦💦🌱

…money 😉
