If you're a publisher of studios using YS that you'd love to support better, we can help. If you're a studio in need of some co-dev extras - particularly in game systems or dev tools - we can help. If you just want to make the connection and don't have a specific ask, we love that too! 💚

You use Yarn Spinner? Great! We'd love to know how, and anything we can do to make it better for you. You would like to use YS in the future? Great! Tell us what you need to make the switch possible. You're devoted to some other tool? Great! We always want to know more about what people look for.

A bloke walks out of Woolworths with a trolley of meat. In court he explains that the meat wasn’t chained to the shelf, that aisle four had no security gate, and that he checked the door for a sign reading “please do not take the meat” and couldn’t find one. All good, I guess?
