🏋🏽♀️Accepting work as a community!
As a thriving community of indie makers banding together, we started doing research/design/development gigs for other companies and orgs too!
Our past research has involved community creation, research, and development of experimental web tools. Below are some examples of cases of what we can help with R&D.
Research
- Research insight into what the future generation (genZ) expects.
- Consulting on how to set up and manage paid communities.
Development
- Designing and coding artful web interfaces, like TheirTube, World Collider, and Multiverse.
- Hosting a hackathon to create an experimental application for Ethereum.
