Hey folks! My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager Forem / DEV — the platform behind this community.

Anyway, I'm from North Carolina (in the US) and an interesting fact about myself: I had 4 broken bones in 5 years. 2 were from skating and 2 from soccer.

As for web monetization, I'm most excited about personal payment pointers. I love that community members who create content can receive payment for their work. By the way, you can set up a payment pointer right here in this community. Just go here in your settings and look for Web Monetization > Payment Pointer.

Hello Michael, is there any plan to get a platform with faster reply rate and where we can talk between projects owners, like a discord?

Hey Eric!

We actually have a built-in feature on Forem for chat called Connect — you should see the speech bubble icon for it in the top right hand corner.

We haven't yet fully activated this channel, but I know that we plan on opening up some real time chat channels via Connect soon. We're still thinking through the logistics of what channels we want to open up, but once we've figured it all out, you can expect these channels to open up!
