ALT Mix It Up Community Update - Part 1/2 on purple starry background with logo. Hey Everyone. Need to talk—delayed too long. Over 6 months no updates; dropped ball on features/integrations, causing stream issues. Genuinely sorry; deserve better, we own it. Struggles behind scenes. Update on 4 areas: Development, Finance, Support, Moving Forward. Development: Lives change in long projects—SaviorXTanren and Tyren parted ways. Gratitude for their vision/contributions over years; wouldn't be here without them. Sole developer now, plus demanding job/work-life struggles—Mix It Up suffered. Upside: Balance nearing, will dedicate time to momentum/forward progress. Finance: Aimed free-to-use as local-run with pocket-covered costs. Growth to thousands users, non-local features raised expenses/debt. Offset via company last 3 years, but solo now leaves Patreon as diminished income source. (Continued in Part 2/2).

ALT Mix It Up Community Update - Part 2/2 on purple starry background with logo. Support: Amid chaos, moderators champions holding down—without them, closed long ago. Volunteer endlessly, deserve recognition. Support strained like finances: Growth means unresolved requests; stretched thin, piling up. Moving Forward: Not excusing lacks, but transparent context. Former creator, get reliable tools need—seen bots vanish, creators scramble. Don't want that legacy for Mix It Up. Committed to advancing together, building community. No sell/merge/close plans—functions same tomorrow/next week. Explore sustainability short/long-term. First: Pause support 2 weeks to breathe, streamline, map path, fix bugs like Trovo/ResponsiveVoice. Questions? Invite to X Town Hall live Sunday Aug 31, 1 PM PST: State, future, answers. From heart, thank you for feedback/patience/trust in journeys. Grateful for this community—hopeful for solutions in dev/help/stability. With gratitude, Tim (Verbatim_T)
