News and updates!
🕑 Added 2018-04-15 20:04:04 +0000 UTCGuess I should start with a lil of history:
- at the Uni I was taught building and working with big and professional infrastructures, companies and corporations, and originally I've created my Patreon system looking at it from this perspective, with it being able to handle high load on its own (with no need to explain things to everybody new - all the aspects are covered in related areas), in such when I can't work with everyone individually I can still meet your expectations...
The whole system was meant to optimise the communication and such both on my and your sides, making it easier for all of us in the end, for me to have less stress and to make more of my fans happy so they get something nice ^^

I'm constantly thinking on improving everything, as I often over-think stuff at the beginning and then struggle with having just a few understanding and able to work with it as I tend to forget, that I'm working not in a professional field, and it is wrong to expect people take time to dig into things, or at least read carefully, or thinking in general if its holidays or late evenings, he-he^^'
So, there's a big renovation going- of the "interface" and the way I work, where I try to make things as simple to understand as possible, while keeping the original concept.

Because I sill don't have that many patrons the system was designed for/to work smoothly and Patreon don't provide enough tools for what I do - I thought I should work both more personalized approach and improve the fair reward system! :
First step is -
- Creating a database! Proper one with formulas, which would organise all of your data for me, so I could see who should get the next reward, what he likes, which pools in (without going through them all) etc, the only con is I would have to manually maintain and update it.
And it is almost done! (still need some of your data to fill)
What it changes?
- My workflow becomes more patron-oriented - fair rewards distribution is powered by numbers from now on! (not without a reasonable degree of flexibility tho)^^
- - -
Basically, if originally I was up to draw something and go to a pool to pick a character, trying to pick someone who I haven't drawn in a while.
But now: I see who exactly should get something nice first and which pools they are in, so I pick character or person first, then choose what to draw from his likes/pools/requests - I go there for the info and refs!
