What is Patreon?

Patreon is a membership platform that allows creators to earn income directly from their fans, or "patrons". It's a way for creator, to build a direct relationship with their audience, who pledge monthly payments in exchange for perks like early access, behind-the-scenes content, or personalized interactions. Patreon empowers creators to monetize their work while maintaining creative control.

Why do we use Patreon?

For us, creating tools like Hoardlight is a creative process before a business opportunity. Sadly, providing a service like Hoardlight is not cheap and it comes with a lot of expenses, including external services and servers.

That said, we need financing from somewhere and we do not want to allow big investors and greedy corporations into the creative process of Hoardlight. Instead, we want to put this power into the hands of our users.

Using Patreon, we can easily connect with our community to include them in the creative process and build Hoardlight, together, without the pressure of making the most money possible to satisfy our investors.

Outsourcing to Patreon also helps us focus on the core features of Hoardlight instead of it's monetization, especially in those early stages.

How does it help?

The revenu we receive from Patreon directly goes into the development of Hoardlight. The money will be used to reward our team and pay for the services we use to make the application work.

Currently, Hoardlight is a passion project of ours. Supporting us via Patreon shows us how much interest the community has in our tool and it motivates us to push the development even further.

What do you get from it?

We are infinitely grateful for every single one of our Patrons.

In exchange for your generosity, you will receive:

• Access to Hoardlight

• Privileged access to our Discord

• Voting Power in our various polls

• Dev Updates
