One of the bootstrapped founders community I'm in (#ZebrasUnite) is converting to a #Coop!
Super exciting to see the #Coops movement growing!

I just updated the payment event handling package my product coop maintains!
Now we expose even more data from Stripe! https://github.com/zinc-collective/compensated/commits/0.X

Economic Justice Barbarian - A social game that explores using privilege to take daily, small risks and help everyone get what they need.
_Finally_ got around to putting the #ZincCoop operating agreement publicly online: https://www.zinc.coop/operating-agreement/
It's not perfect, but it's reasonably fair. We're planning to apply a number of patches throughout 2020; including one which more broadly opens up consumer membership.

Maybe a month ago I stopped using the default git branch name "master". Now I call it "sprout" and it's so much more delightful to see & use! 🌱

Did some infrastructure work this morning for #ZincCoop:
I added the #ghpages and #ncp node modules to the website so we have seams to apply templates / internationalize / etc when building the site.
- https://github.com/zinc-collective/www.zinc.coop/commit/9da6b2e9de8185a4613ecb255f95bff46bb1afe8
Refactored it:
- https://github.com/zinc-collective/www.zinc.coop/commit/2a8c544de7ee9353c86a9b2c4c777ecdc0da0c34
Fixed a redirect loop caused by #Cloudflare/#GithubPages fighting
- https://github.com/zinc-collective/www.zinc.coop/commit/6d7ec11218c8fe4f034d1b9be5523e7a7fa04ed9
Discovered #ghpages wasn't working quite right and added some debug info:

Today, three of us at #ZincCoop mob programmed on adding a bit more functionality to #Compensated.
Now it can handle _even more_ Apple In App Purchase event notifications! https://github.com/zinc-collective/compensated/issues/23
We had been waiting on adding support for these event them until we had real payloads; but eventually decided that it was probably worth adding in the support now since we're beginning to turn it on for production users.
If anyone is interested, here's a draft of the mechanisms #ZincCoop is using to operate as a multi-stakeholder cooperative
We're a worker-only cooperative at the moment ("directors") but I'm hoping to figure out the legal bits aorund contributor and community owners once I have a bit more bandwidth.

If polyam folks call the people they <3 sweeties / cuties, can polycoop folks call the folks they’re working with beepies (BPs for short)?

This is _way_ overdue, but I officially released #Nourish under the #ProsperityLicense.
https://github.com/zinc-collective/nourish
It's still early-alpha, but I'm hopeful to have a bit more bandwidth for defining features, accepting contributions, and driving features forward now that most of the finance and legal stuff has been ironed out for #ZincCoop.

And bam! Now #CrossProcessApp is _also_ relicensed under the #ProsperityLicense with it's source code released here: https://github.com/zinc-collective/mp-crossprocess
#WorkLog / #ZincCoop / #coops / #opensource
I'm excited to announce that the #Zinc #Coop has released #PlasticBullet's source code under the #LicenseZero #ProsperityLicense.
The next release of the app will include the license text, as well as bring improved support for modern devices and iOS 13.
#ZincCoop believes customers have the right to exercise direct control of software they've purchased; and that sustainable economic models for user-facing software can include broadly permissive licensing.

just paid an artist and a bunch of authors. always feels really good.
if you're interested in helping me to keep doing this, the lit journal i run has a patreon and we'd love more support! our ultimate goal is paying pro rates to our all involved.
in brief: Luna Station Quarterly is a speculative fiction magazine featuring stories by emerging women-identified authors. we're now in our 8th year!

*whispers softly* the reason that mice have taken precedence over the keyboard isn't because designers don't know what they're doing but because muscle-memory works to your disadvantage when the app you're writing is changing aspects of its design every other month, like any modern web app
Hallo #Coop buddies!
An online community I belong to is centered around solo/micro-entrepenuers. While we're not a formal cooperative, we frequently swap leads, bring one another on for consulting gigs, etc.
We've been talking a bit about how we could make a product together. Do you have any thoughts/links to resources on:
1. Tracking time and attention directed at the product in an equitable way?
2. Distributing income based upon that time/attention investment?
Thanks <3 <3 <3
