Guide

Start a project

How a new project gets from an idea to a public page. You name it, describe the work, and publish. Nothing is visible until you save.

1. Open the form

Sign in, then open your Projects tab. Create project asks you to confirm. Cancel leaves you where you are. Continuing opens a blank project that is not published yet.

2. Name the work

  • Title is required, up to 80 characters. It becomes the project address, so pick a name you can live with.
  • About is the summary people read on the card and the project page, up to 2,000 characters. Say what you are making and what kind of help you want.

3. Give it a look

  • Color tints the project page. Leave it empty to keep the site colors.
  • The banner is the wide image at the top of the project. Make it 21:9. On a narrow screen the frame becomes 16:9, so keep the important part in the center.
  • The thumbnail is the smaller image on cards and in lists. Make it 16:9.
  • Both can be an image, audio, or a short video you upload now. You can change them later from the project.
  • A Discord invite is optional. Use a full invite link if the crew already has a server.

4. Say how people should find it

Mediums, themes, and roles are suggestions, not a requirement, but they are how Projects and Creators search. A medium is the art form, a theme is the subject, and a role is a job you expect to need. Adding a role here records it on the project. It does not post an opening yet.

5. Publish

Publish project saves it and opens the project page. You are the owner. The project shows up in search and on your Projects tab. Followers can watch it. Files, settings, and the crew tools are yours because you are on the crew.

6. After it exists

  • Overview is the public description, cover, and open roles.
  • Communication is where you post updates. People who follow the project see those in Following.
  • Files are for the crew. Put shared work there instead of only in a portfolio.
  • Crew is the people on the project. Recruiting on that tab has Add an opening when you are ready for applications. An opening is one role, a short brief, a language, and an optional place.
  • Applications land on your Applications tab and on the opening. Accept adds that person to the crew.

If this is your first time on the site, Begin my Journey covers the account, profile, and first portfolio piece before you start a project.
