Right now, it's just me and @megadrive. I operate the infrastructure, he takes care of the financial stuff.

The founders were @jacobgadikian, @baabeetaa, and @megadrive. @baabeetaa left to work on other projects of his, so did Jacob. When Jacob left, I came in to replace him. He was running the infrastructure and taking care of GitLab and those kinds of things.

I'm not a programmer by trade; it's just something that I do as a hobby. That's why we hire outside help when it comes to bigger projects. I could do more software development, but I don't have much time because I have a full time job and a personal business, neither of which have anything to do with computer programming.

I was in the process of rewriting our image services (the proxy, the uploader, and the server). If you can do what you're talking about in this post, I might not have to rewrite the whole thing. I might just do the image proxy and call it a day.

Right now, I'm just using a custom version of Nginx setup as an S3 gateway to serve the images.

Edit: What I meant is that it's just me and @megadrive left of the "management" so to speak. There are other team members who do various things. I don't intend to make it sound like it's just the two of us doing everything. We have a team that handles social media posts on traditional social media, and they also work on marketing Blurt. They came up with the new logo that we have now. There are a few people helping with the RPC nodes. I wrote a small program that monitors the nodes and alerts us whenever one of the nodes goes down, and there are four of us all in different time zones that can attend to them whenever needed.
