I thought you might be one candidate, bauss. I know we've 
discussed GtkD on at least one occasion on this forum.




I might chip in at some point.

As for where to find other people I know who might be 
interested... I've got this forum, the Reddit D Programming 
feed, and the forum over on GtkD.org... Oh. And Gnome 
Discourse... and, of course, the Facebook group I started.  I 
don't know who else would potentially be my audience.


Audience building has been slow going, mostly—I think—because D 
and GtkD aren't exactly mainstream yet. Part of my goal is, of 
course, to help change this.




Sharing posts to Reddit etc. might be a way to gain audience.



It's rather difficult unless there is a specific course behind 
your Patreon page that will make people support you.


Can you elaborate on this? I'm not really clear on what you 
mean by 'course.'




My bad for the typo. Meant "cause"

-- Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but there is no 
off-topic section either --


Yup, too true. I considered the Learn sub-forum, but this 
seemed more like an announce-y thing to me. Perhaps the 
moderator can step in and give me some guidance as to whether 
this thread should (or even can) be moved.


Thanks for you feedback, bauss.
