Overview
Being invited to the team
In June 2018, I made a masterpost issue including every bug and missing feature from the initial beta release, with a big checklist and organized into areas of interest.

Additionally, I reported many bugs and contributed some fixes for some months.
dansup decided to invite me to join the Pixelfed organization on Github on January 6, 2019.
Responsibilities
Issue triage
I implemented the current issue tagging system.
Issues are assigned tags by the domain they inhabit, a Milestone by rough version target, and a Project by which feature they pertain to.
Design consultancy
dansup does a lot of experimenting with building out mock features, and I'm there to tell him which ones are good ideas and which ones are bad ideas.
i don't trust anyone as much as you to shape the direction of the project.

Release planning
0.x betas each usually focus on one feature and related development around it. When the focus changes, a new 0.x beta will be tagged. We have a few more betas left, for circles, and for polish. If it weren't for me, dansup would have tagged 1.0 already and media attention would have been lackluster.
