Community is the multiplier

Build like a guild. Ship like a studio.Level up together.

FUDD wants non-mainstream tools to feel mainstream — that requires more than code. It takes a welcoming community, fast support loops, shared learning paths, and governance that rewards real contribution. This page is the guild hall: how we collaborate, teach, decide, and celebrate.

Builder: turn ideas into pull requests
Start with small issues, earn trust, then lead modules. We optimize for fast review and calm collaboration.
Fast support loops
Ask a question, get a path: code pointers + runnable examples + “why” explanations.
Contribution earns influence
We avoid founder-bottlenecks by distributing stewardship through merit and clarity.

Guilds: focused squads with clear missions

Big projects fail when everything is “everyone’s job”. FUDD guilds are small, mission-driven groups that own a surface area. You can join multiple guilds — but each guild is accountable for outcomes.

Guild principles
  • Clear mission: one sentence, measurable.
  • Bounded surface: repo paths + modules + docs.
  • Fast loop: triage → patch → release notes.
  • Teach as you build: every fix improves docs.
Webapps Guild

Ship SSR-first patterns, routing, continuation UX, and examples that feel like mainstream DX.

Quest Board: the shortest path to impact

We package work into quests: crisp scope, difficulty, expected time, and reward. It’s designed to reduce contributor confusion and increase merge velocity.

You’ll see scope, links, and suggested mentors (placeholders in prototype).

Governance: strong leadership, distributed power

FUDD avoids fragile “hero maintainer” dynamics. We want clear decision paths, transparent roadmaps, and periodic referendums for major direction. Influence comes from contribution: code, docs, support, releases.

How decisions move

Proposal → discussion → decision → merge → release notes.

Policy
Badges unlock responsibilities (triage rights, release captain, guild steward). No one is “above review.”
Code of conduct (short)
Be kind. Be precise. Assume good intent. Critique code, not people. Keep spaces welcoming.

Live Ops: office hours, streams, release parties

The fastest way to onboard is to pair with someone who already knows the terrain. We run weekly sessions (conceptually) and keep the recordings mapped to docs and quests.

Why videogame-style?
Because it’s memorable: levels, quests, loot (templates), raid bosses (migration projects), and co-op learning.

Office Hours
Bring a bug or a migration blocker. Leave with a plan and a patch.
Raid Nights
Live pairing on “boss fights”: big refactors, performance hunts, security hardening.
Join the guild hall

Pick a guild, pick a role, and we’ll route you to the shortest quest path. This is a prototype form — wire it to your backend and community platforms.

You’ll receive
  • • starter quest list (beginner → epic)
  • • recommended docs + example projects
  • • office hours schedule (once wired)
Tip: if you’re evaluating FUDD as a CTO, pick OperatorDX Guild.
The “fast onboarding” path
# 1) pick a guild
# 2) pick one quest (<= 2 hours)
# 3) pair in office hours (optional)
# 4) submit PR + short note
# 5) earn badge, unlock next difficulty
Beginner → Rare → Epic
# the promise
# less time lost in confusion
# more time shipped into reality
