The Sidehatch Blog

You may have noticed that things look a little brighter around here- We did a complete overhaul of the site’s look and feel, along with a bunch of backend stuff to make adding new features easier in the future. Our fingers are raw, our keyboards stained with Cheeto dust, and our bodies now immune to caffeine. But we hope you like it. If you don’t, or are just feeling mean, let us know what you don’t like or what you’d change. We’ll probably listen.

Also, the redesign isn’t quite done: the profiles will be getting a massive overhaul soon, the inbox needs to be prettied up, and all sorts of other things need to be done. But first? Nap time.

Some of you may have noticed a lack of shipping confirmations after winning a prize – have no worries. We’re currently working on all manner of things to improve the website so some backend functions are down for the time being. Prizes are still being shipped out in a timely fashion.

We’re going to keep mum for now on what we’re working on, but it’s some pretty cool stuff. Stay tuned!

Due to some technical tomfoolery we’ll be drawing prizes early today. When this will take place exactly is up to the gremlins inside our server, so just think of it as a surprise. That’s what we’re trying to do, instead of crying in a corner, mumbling about how the database just doesn’t love us. Unfortunately, positive thinking doesn’t always work, but the good news is it will mean next week’s prizes will be up early as well.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
