Hello, Patina Project community! We've introduced new perks for our Patina Project Supporters that will allow you to further customize your collections and albums.
🤝 Why become a Patina Project Supporter?
A little bit of backstory...
In July 2021, frustrated by the lack of good options to document how my boots evolved and to learn from others' experiences, I began programming the first version of Patina Project. As the project grew, Hillary (a.k.a. knoll) and I became fully committed to creating the best possible experience for the quality footwear community. With the growth of the community, our workload increased as well.
For two years, Hillary and I dedicated countless late-night hours to Patina Project while managing full-time jobs in technology startups. In October 2023, I made the decision to leave my job to focus entirely on Patina Project, and to improve both Hillary’s and my physical and mental health. While Hillary stepped back from coding to focus on her daytime job, she continues to support me as I work on developing a sustainable revenue stream for Patina Project.
This decision has significantly improved our well-being, and I believe Patina Project wouldn’t be where it is today without this dedicated focus. To keep Patina Project growing and evolving, I need your support. If you’ve enjoyed using the platform and want to see it thrive, please consider becoming a Patina Project Supporter.
My goal is to continue serving the quality footwear community for many years to come.
