Lots of folks have wanted at least a rebrand of GnuIMP & 2 years ago we decided to make just that! Y’all funded us creating a tool to rebrand gnu imp + a whole rebrand, called 

We’ve got a new fundraiser to update #heckImp to gnuImp 3.0 + package #PIKApp for Linux and Windows: https://chuffed.org/project/157315-fund-aldercone-collectives-heckimp-and-pikapp-projects

Hey! Remember when y'all funded the first versions of heckimp and PIKA? That was awesome and now we're back with part 2!

Fundraise the project! https://chuffed.org/project/157315

Once funded, we'll be updating heckimp and PIKA with the gnuIMP 3.0 update, as well as making Linux and Windows packages so PIKApp will be easy for everyone to install!

While fedi is funding projects at something like 2 grand a week, how about funding a tiny #queer family/collective! We're are *much* more efficient than that!

We would love to hit our goal $50 a week!

For that low low cost you get an #Indigenous led/run glitch server, us working on a gnu IMP renaming, emojis, community email, a static site generator, and all kinds of community tech-related projects we dream up!

I have pushed a bunch of changes for HeckWeasel https://heckin.technology/AlderconeStudio/heckweasel which was mostly some cleanup and adding HECKformat support! Now documents and metadata can live together forever. I'm not 1000% happy with how it gets converted to python objects.For the time being given the limitations it works great. I'll have to try something serious like making an entire website before I'm happy I think. Anyways, fun times!
