April 2024 Status Update

It’s the first week of the month here at starbeam.one. This means the latest monthly status update. ✨🚀 v1.1 Released I was finally able to deploy v1.1 last month, which includes all sorts of quality updates to v1.0. With that release I finally caught up with all the technical debt I had been enduring and battling for the past few months. I am so glad that is over and I am able to finally get back to feature development. Continue reading

March 2024 Status Update

It’s the first week of the month, and that historically means it’s time for our monthly status update here on starbeam.one! 🚀 Back on Schedule-ish I say historically as last month was a bit of an outlier. We’re back to the first week of the month here with our cadence, and what I have been doing is filming the standup on Tuesday and then writing the blog posts on the following day. Continue reading

February 2024 Status Update

Two Years Since Preview Announcement From the better late than never file, this update is a little behind this month. 😊😇 I have been busy working on our new environment and configurations for v1.0. With all the activity and effort to make this happen, I decided to round out the delay to this week as it signifies a full two years since announcing the preview on February 22, 2022.

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

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
