racetime.gg

Hello everyone. My name is Damian, better known online as Dyn, and I am the founder of <a href="https://racetime.gg" target="_blank">racetime.gg</a>, an open platform for organising races online. I built racetime.gg to give the speedrunner community (plus anyone else with an interest in gaming) a modern, free, and powerful system to use for online races. It is my intention to always keep the site as open and useful as possible. All the site's code is available as open-source, and the site itself will not run ads, or intrude on user privacy by selling data. The site is relatively new on the scene but is already growing in popularity. In order to maintain it, we do of course need to rent servers, host backups, and so on. As a professional web developer myself, I'm pretty well-versed in creating a stable, fast and secure web environment. By signing up as a supporter you can help meet the costs of running the site and its continued development. As a bonus, you'll also get some cosmetic perks on racetime.gg itself, which are detailed in the tier plan above. racetime.gg is a project for the community, and all the funds collected via this Patreon will go back into that community, one way or another. If you're interested in how various costs are being met, you should join the site's Discord server. I'll be sharing as much information as I can with supporters to help them see where their money takes us. Funds raised via this Patreon are paid to racetime.gg limited (England &amp; Wales; 12605863). This is a private, non-profit company limited by guarantee, whose primary purpose is simply to make racetime.gg the best site it can be.
