We saw the signs several years ago as Patreon began tightening their policies, and so we began to build a solution: WhyCloud
As adult game devs, we've been forced to self-host practically all of our development tools and websites, and we want to use this knowledge to help other creators.
WhyCloud is a Free and Open-Source tool that aims enable anyone to be able host their own site and process payments - whether it be through standard, high-risk, ACH, or crypto - with no tech knowledge necessary.
We have launched an Indiegogo campaign and need your help to bring about a world where we all can create fearlessly!
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
