✨(G)IT'S DELIVERY DAY✨
The first issue of the Fujoshi Guide to Web Development has been drafted, edited, alpha-read, beta-read, possibly even omega-read—and starting today, it'll be backer-read!
After 18 months' work, the digital preview hit our backers' inboxes this morning.
As you can imagine, A LOT of work from A LOT of incredibly talented people went into making this day possible.
Our mission was not easy: creating an approachable and engaging learning experience for beginners with a technology as complex as Git? "Impossible!", many would say.
And yet, according to our beta readers, we succeeded in doing just that. So it's time for the penultimate test: put the digital preview in the hands of a slightly-broader public and find out if our backers agree with our betas!
As you can imagine, we're scared but excited 🫣

Check out our zine's (backers preview) release!! FujoGuide was born out of a problem we identified developing BobaBoard: many who wanted to help, the people we most wanted help from (hobbyists in fandom!), were missing THE fundamental skill needed—collaborative coding with Git!
Git is a notoriously difficult technology to master! But working with Fandom Coders, we found that beginners who did do so got a significant boost in their ability to wrangle complex code and collaborate. We realized then the impact having engaging guides to Git could make!
We're SO proud of the work that went into this zine and the result. We're still missing one fundamental step to collaboration (CLOUD version control, Issue 2).Excited to get there soon! We truly believe this will make projects like BobaBoard more viable. We're already seeing it!
