Early Access Policy
Content Release Model
When a dual feature is released, there’s:
- A video on YouTube
- An article, time-locked for 6 months
- Optionally, some bonus “companion” code to the article/video
Here are examples of dual features:
The article version is accessible in advance for sponsors/patrons of tiers Silver and above (~10EUR + VAT/month)
The bonus code, (like in the virtue of unsynn) is accessible for sponsors/patrons of tiers Bronze and above (~5EUR + VAT/month).
Six months after the video is released, the article automatically unlocks for everyone.
Sponsored Early Access
Generous sponsors are able to buy a time-release for an exclusive article.
This makes the article accessible for everyone immediately, and adds a banner to the article indefinitely to advertise whatever the generous sponsor would like to.
If you’re interested in buying a time-release for an exclusive article, reach out to amos@bearcove.eu directly and we can discuss prices and copy!

Several maintainers received it — the issue is being discussed on GitHub.
The crates.io team has acknowledged the attack and said they’d see if they can do something about it.
