Platform Update Notice

Hello everyone,

I'm currently re-considering (again) what I should actually make, what the real target of the new platform should be, and how it should even look.

I really liked working on this project a lot. I loved the community we all built and were part of together. It meant everything to me.

I never did it for money or fame - in fact, I never made any. This project was always about passion, about doing something meaningful and trying to figure out how development could continue.

The platform along with a fully modular mobile app is basically ready. I would even say it's almost launchable. But there's this.. well.. we're surrounded by phones 24/7 and I do not want to support this. It's seriously unhealthy for everyone, and that made me start completely rethinking my entire plan. The truth is: I've already built this platform twice, but I never published it.

From 2016 to 2020, I barely had any money to keep things running. But thanks to this amazing community and people like Daniel - I was able to keep it alive. Thank you for that, truly.

But nothing lasts forever, especially free hosting. Even though I didn't have much, I somehow kept it going just because I loved this community and saw its potential as something truly limitless.

Then came the domain seizure by law enforcement. I lived in hell for two full years. I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had panic attacks almost every day. I was seriously worried about my life and future. I never did drugs, never sold anything illegal. Yet I was arrested purely as a result of conspiracy and the idiocy of our system. And you know what? Nobody give/gave a fuck. I felt like my own country betrayed me - just to protect their own ego. And that's fucked up.

The psychological pressure was so horrific that I even started considering a completely different life. Something far away from everything I'd ever cared about. I thought about moving to the countryside, becoming a farmer, or doing anything simple.

Eventually, I managed to buy the domain back through an auction. That was a small victory in a long war. So.. what's now? What's next? Please gave me some time so I can collect myself together.

For now..

Thank you for reading this far and for sticking around even when I disappeared. It means a lot to me.

With love,
- Zdenek Gruza a.k.a. #Aladin
