Introducing Tavrn Tap

The past month has been exciting and chaotic. In just a month, we went from an idea we had during a casual conversation to a usable product, of which we will be releasing the first initial beta version as of right now.

Today, we are introducing Tavrn Tap, the best way to use Tavrn.gg and the future platform for Sapphire services

Spring 2018 Update

The last 4 months have been very busy and productive, for us here at Sapphire, and we couldn’t have done it without your support. Your donations make everything we do here at Sapphire possible and we would just like to thank everyone that helps contribute. Whether it’s funding us, trying out our software and services, watching a vodcast, providing feedback, or helping get people to use our products and services.

Around March 1st, we recently surpassed 6,000 Sapphire accounts, with our average daily sign up rate doubling last year’s average. We even saw that since March 1st, we have had 200 accounts that did not have GitGud.io accounts, which shows that many are interested in Tavrn and/or GitGud.TV and that user interest is increasing as we are developing these.
