Hey you there! So I thought it fun to write a bit about the coding aspect of FDM Monster in a blog style. I've been wanting to share the progress in a mini article like this, so you can follow the work a bit.

📆 What happened in May so far?​

Another project, called OctoFarm, decided to call it quits, which was not unexpected given the silence on github. Even though this ending was not unexpected, it was still announced abruptly. After the announcement a small shift in the OctoPrint 3D Farm Print software ecosystem happened. Suddenly, it struck me, @Dyrant and @Tobikiss that a replacement could be found in FDM Monster. After quite some chats with those fine aforementioned people and interesting folks like @tideline3d and @WindArrow, it was clear that FDM Monster (FDMM for short) needs a lot of improvements in order to get mature for the public. Documentation, a login system, more grid customization, a raspberry pi image (MonsterPi) and minor bugfixes were some of the topics.

After these talks, a wave of people arrived into this discord and the Github suddenly showed a steady increase in view counts and clones. This gave me a big boost to work harder as now there are users using the software in their daily life, depending on it and in need of new features and expansion. It's so nice to see the project take off!
