September 2023 Status Update

It’s the first full week of the month and that means it’s time for the latest starbeam.one status update! Slow Times on the Starship Things have gotten slow here, a little slower than anticipated! This was expected as I spent more time on developing key features for support and administration. However, the one incident we did not account for was having our premiere artist account inadvertently getting suspended by Twitter. Lady Leah is our top artist with over 10,000 followers and was our primary source of marketing and promotion. Continue reading

August 2023 Status Update

Believe it or not, we are in the first week of the month, which means the latest starbeam.one Status Update! 🚀 Welcome to Beta I At long last, after nearly four years of development, we are now official in beta quality. Truth be told, we probably have been in beta quality for quite some time now. Based on feedback from several members, I have made the switch to get this officially acknowledged recognized. Continue reading

July 2023 Status Update

It is the first week of the month which means it’s time for the starbeam.one monthly update! Usually this occurs on a Tuesday, but since we were celebrating our nation’s birthday yesterday it felt a little unpatriotic to do such an activity. So today it is! 1.6K Flares of Volume in June, 54% More than May Last month I felt like tempting fate by announcing how much volume we did for the month. Continue reading

June 2023 Status Update

Welcome to Alpha IV Yay, we made it. Welcome to Alpha IV, which is the fourth alpha release of starbeam.one. We’re releasing a new alpha every two months on our push to beta which should occur in October. 🤞 This was a better alpha for me, with Alpha III being a bit of a stressful push. Alpha IV was better and I felt like I was able to get more done. Continue reading

May 2023 Status Update

It’s the first week of the month, time for your monthly status update for starbeam.one! Welcome to May We are here in May, with Alpha IV scheduled for launch next month. It is very heads-down for me (a good thing) and this post will be short-and-sweet. 880 Flares of Volume, Passing 3,500 Total Last month we did 880 Flares of volume for the month, which is pretty impressive considering we did 81 total for the month of December. Continue reading

April 2023 Status Update

It’s the first Tuesday of the month, it’s time for a monthly status update on starbeam.one! ✨🚀 Welcome to Alpha III Today we’re announcing Alpha III, which is mostly comprised of quality improvements. Alpha III was meant to be a focus on quality and also key features on administration before we start marketing our application in earnest with formal advertising spend. However, with all the sheer commotion of onboarding new users, artists, and collectors, I only managed to get quality improvements into the codebase for this alpha. Continue reading

March 2023 Status Update

Yay, the first Tuesday of every month, time for a monthly status update! Erm, wait, it’s Wednesday, huh. With all the hustle and bustle of running starbeam.one lately, I’ve dedicated Tuesday to creating and publishing the Stand-up & Shine (& Shill) video, and then Wednesday to announcing it here with this blog. ✌ 1,500 Flares of Volume (500 in 2 weeks 🤯) It seems like only two weeks ago we managed to reach our first 1,000 Flares of volume after 5. Continue reading

Announcing Alpha II

Today, I am announcing starbeam.one’s Alpha II. This is the second released alpha for our emerging platform and has a focus on our markets and quality. This particular alpha has been quite some time in the making, taking over four months since our Alpha I announcement. One-Year Anniversary One year ago today, after spending over two years in development solitude and surviving a pandemic, I announced the Alpha Preview to much fan fare and overwhelming market acclaim. Continue reading

February 2023 Status Update

Hello February! It is the first Tuesday (or Wednesday as of late 😇) of the month and therefore time for your starbeam.one monthly status update. Nearly One Year Has Passed 🚀 I announced the preview on February 22, 2022. Can you believe that in two weeks that will be one full year? 🤯 This time last year I was uploading the different applications to Azure and learning a lot. One year later, we are actively generating revenue and running a business. Continue reading
