Back to writing! A short new series forming a retrospective for FurSquared's 2024 technology. We must first start with what happened the year before as these issues set the priorities for 2024's development.

You might not think it, but scale is a problem Furries are having to deal with. Why might this be happening? How much did FurSquared grow and when at the convention might we staff more and staff less? I go over some neat numbers and metrics in part 2 of FurSquared's 2024 retrospective.

After all that success and growth, what actually went into it all? Drivers License scanning was a big hit for staff, built in refund tools and volunteer time tracking too. Dealers got a much better payment experience and could manage their assistants themselves, and we got a robust background work queue now too.

See Part 3 in FurSquared's 2024 retrospective for all the invention and design that made it succeed while growing 35% year over year.

Not all fruits of 2024's labor came unblemished. There are plenty of things to improve. Vendor processes need a lot more love and so does cash. We need to squeeze out as much from the pre-printing method as possible while by making badge ranger's role easier too.

There are plenty of areas where I could use some help. Are you interested in taking on a challenge? I've got some fun ideas for Volunteers. 😉

Check out all the rough edges in part 4 of FurSquared's 2024 retrospective.

Hoorah, the last section of the retrospective is here. There are two major products I plan to make for 2025: a vendors application process and an all in one check-in application for on-site use. Oh! A better cash process too. Can't forget that.

I am also researching ways to better handle 2026's projected growth, and I plan some minor improvements for attendees too.

Take a read of part 5 of the FurSquared 2024 retrospective.
