I'm not going to do a whole blog post about 2021 stuff because I feel like most
of us just sorta want to move on and forget about it, but if you were looking
for a longer read, then here's the table of content of [our latest newsletter
edition](/newsletter/2022q1/) that also went out today:
<!-- truncate -->
- 🎉 2021 is salted and burned
- 🧐 What our contributors have been up to in 2021
- 🎖️ FreeSewing is now an 'all contributors' project
- 🚧 Why version 3 has been put on hold
- 🤓 What I've been up to in 2021
- 🐛 FreeSewing's bug bounty program
- ⛑️ Yearly revenue and where it went (spoiler: same as always)
- 🤞 What I hope will happen this year
Here, I'd like to cherry-pick just those things that I think are exciting right
now.
## freesewing.dev has been rebuilt
[The effort I started in the summer](https://freesewing.dev/blog/project-2022)
came to fruition on the last day of the year as I deployed the new
[freesewing.dev](https://freesewing.dev/blog/project-2022) site in production.
It's a complete redesign, and the code is now [hosted in our
monorepo](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing), which means that [our
dedicated repository for
freesewing.dev](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing.dev) has now been
archived.
This effort implemented a bunch of items from [our v3
roadmap](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing/discussions/1278) which has
sort of grown into this long list of ideas/plans. From the top of my head:
- Migrate to NextJS
- Better open graph support
- Migrate style to TailwindCSS
- Migrate blog posts and showcase posts to Strapi
- Migrate newsletter to Strapi
- Move markdown content into monorepo & merge Crowdin translation projects
- Add endpoint to backend for auto-generated open graph images
Have all been implemented as a direct result or side effect of this effort.
This site will also become the blueprint for an overhaul of freesewing.org,
something that's on the planning for this year.
## FreeSewing's bug bounty program
Once again, [read our newsletter](/newsletter/2022q1/) for the entire
backstory, but here's the gist of it: We are now launching the FreeSewing bug
bounty program:
> If you find a bug in one of our patterns, or in our core library, we will
> (with your permission) add you to our list of contributors, and send you a
> little something to say thanks.
So keep your eyes peeled, and if something seems off, [let us know about
it](https://discord.freesewing.org/) and we'll send you some goodies
