An update for the CactiSwap community 🌵

Hey everyone! I’m sorry I’ve been MIA for a bit. I was in a car accident and broke my neck, so I’ve had a lot to deal with. I wanted to check in, explain the quiet stretch, and share where things are heading. Keeping CactiSwap running through Base44 has become too expensive for me to maintain, so I’m moving toward self-hosting and rebuilding the site myself. That gives me more control over the costs, features, and future of our community. The original site was a first test run, and I learned a lot from it. The plan is to take those lessons and rebuild better and bigger, with a stronger foundation to grow on. I’ve also been building Cascadia Cultivated, bringing together several projects: - Cascadia Social Shell — software for building and customizing community websites. - Cascadia Interactive — applications and tools for playing games, hosting servers, and developing integrations. - CultivatedOS — greenhouse monitoring and automation software. 🌱 - Ruins of Aterra (RoA) — the new direction for the CactiGrow rebuild, expanding into a larger game with exploration, gathering, crafting, and building. These projects are at different stages of development, and I’m excited to share more as they grow. The best way to stay in touch and follow updates is through Discord: 💬 My Discord username: cactiguru 🌵 Join the server: discord.gg/KTDpQNjk2k 🌐 Explore the projects: cascadiacultivated.com Thank you for your patience, for being part of the original CactiSwap test run, and for sticking around. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with everyone and sharing what comes next. 💚🌵
