Pledgecamp Engineering Update #15

(See previous update here)

Hello again from the engineering team, we’re here with another update! Last week we landed a lot of code, continued working on the Binance DEX token bridge, and added Chinese translations to our product page (https://pledgecamp.com).

We finished implementing several frontend pages, including user account settings, project update create/edit/publish for creators, and use profile editing. We added comprehensive backend tests for user registration, login, and project updates, and made good progress on the analytics system for creators.

We are currently hiring backend and frontend developers, as well as a technical project manager. If you’re interested in working at Pledgecamp, check out our job descriptions and send in an application!

This Week

This week we’ll finish the first iteration of our project analytics system. This aggregates information such as backer count, funding, traffic sources, and referral url purchases so that creators can optimize their marketing strategies. We still have a lot of ground to cover for the platform UI, but will continue to make good progress. We onboarded a new frontend developer, so the pace should only increase.
