What an amazing year for Pixelfed and our other projects like https://loops.video and https://fedidb.com

I started this year as the solo dev, and now we have a team of designers, developers and project managers.

June will bring a fresh new experience to Pixelfed, a stable/self-hostable and newly federated Loops and early access to Sup for our Kickstarter backers.

This wouldn’t be possible without the support from our amazing community, so thank you ❤️
