We Lost Everything (Well, Almost Everything)

This isn’t the blog post we wanted to write.

Somehow — and we’re still not entirely sure how… but our entire codebase got corrupted. Like, fully. Totally. Beyond-repair levels of corrupted. No backups that worked. No magic undo button. Everything we’ve been building for Tavrn for the past months? Gone.

So yeah. We have to start over.

But This Is Not the End

The good news is we’re not dead in the water.

Our databases? Still intact.

Our infrastructure? Still there.

Our vision? Very much alive.

And maybe most importantly, we know exactly what we’re building now.

The original version of Tavrn was trial by fire. We were experimenting, testing, tweaking, failing, learning, building, and rebuilding. That messy process gave us a clear map of what works… and what doesn’t.

So while it sucks to lose all that progress, we’re not starting from scratch mentally. We’re starting with experience.

So What Happens Now?

We’re getting back to work like… immediately.

Honestly, we expect to recover a huge chunk of what we lost pretty quickly. Some of it will be even better this time around. Cleaner. Smarter. More efficient. And now we can build with the benefit of hindsight instead of just hope.

That said, this might slow things down a little. We’re not going to rush it, and we’re not cutting corners to make up for lost time. We’re still committed to building Tavrn the right way.

Thanks for Sticking With Us

This sucks. We won’t pretend it doesn’t. But the support we’ve gotten already, even while Tavrn is still in development, means the world to us.

If anything, this just confirms how much we care about getting Tavrn out into the world.

We’re still coming. We’re still building. And we’re not going anywhere.

Thanks for riding with us,
