What it’s about

Our first crowdfunding campaign over Christmas and New Year was very successful. The new feature has already been developed, allowing posts to be pinned in groups on all ocelot.social networks.

We are now launching our second campaign.

Group Chat Rooms

Until now, members of a group could only communicate via posts and post comments, as well as one-to-one chats.

The aim of this crowdfunding campaign is to introduce group chat rooms so that members can communicate with each other independently of posts and everyone can see what has been written.

The existing one-to-one chat function will be expanded for this purpose and software tests will be carried out to ensure quality.

This is what a group chat room in a group might look like.

Why a crowdfunding?

busFaktor() e.V., the organization behind the free open-source software ocelot.social, is a non-profit. Since it has no commercial interests, the further development of the software is financed solely through volunteer work, donations, membership fees, and contracts from the operators of ocelot.social networks to freelance developers. This includes donations from you.
