About Fantail

Fantail is an online service in development that aims to make life as easy as possible for Community Groups. We're using it live at the moment for the Wanaka Community Workshop, and I (Gwilym) is hacking to bring more wonderful features.

I'm looking for more Organisations who would like to test Fantail out and see if it is useful for them. Nobody is too small (or big). Email me at: email@fantail.org.nz

What is Fantail?

Community Groups, Workshops, Sports Clubs and other Non For Profits are the backbone of our communities.

I am a software person who in 2021 started a Community Workshop in Wanaka. In June 2022, after thinking about it for a long time, I started making this software to make our lives easier. The great thing about software is if it works for one it will probably be useful for others.

My goal is to keep developing this service and for it to become a social enterprise in its own right.

How much does it cost?

I'm torn between having Fantail pay its way and wanting it to be sustainable and used by as many people as possible. With this in mind I'd like to offer it for free use or for a Koha for smaller organisations, and eventually on a "Pay As You Go" basis for larger organisations who require the email communication and credit Card payment features.
If you can afford to sign up for a support subscription, and even pay a small amount extra to help pay for other organisations, I'd be most appreciative. The funds will go towards making ther service faster, reliable, and creating new features.
