Friends! The robots are taking my job!

One of the rewards granted by the upper echelon tiers is member link flair inside the app and listing on the "Credits" view.

Prior to today, synchronising Patron and Destiny membership data required that I manually export and import data in CSV format. Pretty poor! 😅

Years ago, I tried to automate this using Patreon's API but I lacked the understanding and skills to pull it off. Now it's effortless. It's not a special thing–just a reminder that anything is possible with time.

Sadly, 1-3 years ago, Patreon made changes to their API and no longer return a value for a patron's "max pledge." Without that data, it's difficult to programmatically retroactively apply benefits based on Patron tier. That said, I think I've done a pretty good job. If you're a patron who has used the association tool in Braytech "Settings" and are missing flair, please let me know. But yeah, like I said, I think I nailed it!

Patron and Voluspa now synchronise every 4 hours!

Only something higher tiers receive! 💃🏼

I feel like this is a stupid question, but I guess this is the place to ask it. Does a patron at the $2/month tier receive any benefits linked in the app? I don't need some crazy flair or anything; I just want the app to not ask me to donate support because I already do. Is that something I should have, meaning that I need to work on my settings or account linking, or is it something that only higher tiers receive?
