Hi everyone its Jingna. Long time no see! A few things on whats new with Cara lately: 1. I had severe burnout/depression the last few months so I was offline for a while. Im slowly getting back into things now, but thats the main reason we have been quiet for a while and I apologize. Will share more on what weve been working on in the background2. Dev UpdateWe are in the middle of a big rewrite for mobile app. This is a pretty major milestone as the update will improve app speed, stability, and fix a number of UX issues. And while it may not seem like much on the frontend, and well still have many bugs to work on over time, but its a big step towards making bug-fixing and performance issues easier to work on in the future, so Im really excited!The first new version should be ready early next month. Ill announce again once its up in the app stores. We appreciate everyones patience and understanding. ImagineFX Issue 245 3. ImagineFX Interview/FeatureWe're in the new issue of ImagineFX (issue 245)! I did an interview discussing what happened in the last few months for those curious to read up on some behind the scenes. 4. Events: TechCrunch Disrupt & Lightbox ExpoI will be at Lightbox Expo and TechCrunch Disrupt next month! Well have a table and discussion/Q&A panel for Cara at Lightbox, and for TechCrunch Disrupt, Ill be speaking on the AI stage with a panel about copyright and ethics in AI. 5. Merch/Tote Bags Well be making some tote bags that can be picked up at Lightbox Expo to raise money for our server costs. Right now coffees are still the best way to support us, but we hope this will give people who want to rep Cara merch a chance to get something. Well share more info soon once we finalize the artwork list. 6. #Plantober for October Our October art challenge will be #plantober! We wanted to give people an option for something besides inks and drawings if they wanted, and it just sounded like a fun hashtag. Theme list to come in the next few days, but feel free to start thinking about it!Big thank you to everyone who checked in on me and those who have been supporting us with coffees. It means a lot. We will be back with more details on these updates soon. Thank you! - Jingna cara.app | twitter | instagram | buy cara a coffee
