That sound is not your shed door creaking, it's my shed server
Power Up Our Platform! Invest in a New Shed Server!
Imagine a Shed of the year website that loads instantly (for the first time in 18 years!), handles surges seamlessly, and unlocks exciting new features.
This vibrant shed future is within reach, but we need your help!
Our current web server, valiant as it is, struggles to keep pace with our growing community (We love you sheddies!) and ambitious vision (hold on a minute)
Frequent lag and limited capacity are holding us back (25k photos of sheds are currently locally hosted and not in the cloud)
That's why we're reaching out to you, our passionate sheddies and supporters.
By investing in a new, powerful web server, we can:
Boost speed and reliability: Say goodbye to frustrating delays and enjoy a lightning-fast browsing experience.
Accommodate growth: Serve more users simultaneously without compromising performance.
Unlock new features: Better processing of more shed photos at a time, the possibility of no more photos on the wonk!
Your contribution, no matter the size (50 X £3 is our goal for the next two months), will directly impact the future of readersheds.co.uk
Donate today and be a part of building a platform that thrives and serves you even better.
Together, let's power up our community and unlock its full potential!
As many people are blocking ads - my site revenue has dropped considerably, so hopefully you sheddies can help.
All the people who help as a thank-you will be featured on a special page on the website, with photos of themselves or their sheds or even pets and links to their websites, and will get "I saved a shed today" sticker, so like a rubbish version of Patreon
