- the current fundraiser!
The progress banner/banner is accurate for just this campaign.
In-house operation. WFMU does homegrown fundraising, and it works for them.
FMA uses Stripe. Paypal could also be an option, but Paypal takes a percentage
Stripe is same as last time.
Stripe has a lot of things! (according to Tom)
Annual campaign, but you can donate anytime.
Lots of avant-garde, noise, etc.
End of year campaigns and holidays a problem for competition.
Two $3 donations.
- new mobile app
Android app came later because it took a while to find
Amazon Echo
app could happen (Bose speaker you can talk to)- Flash player?
Still a thing!
- FMA got another developer!
Two part-time developers (they each work one day a week)
Ross is still a developer. Eric is the new guy. They are friends in Milwaukee.
