Join us for an unforgettable night 7:30pm in Jakarta [[Click This Whatsapp Groupchat Link](https://chat.whatsapp.com/I8piLGquTos5Ty8i1Q6cl1)] We’re not just a language exchange — we’re a roaming social experience for 20s and 30s who love new faces and open conversations. Whether you're an expat, traveler, or Seoulite looking for something beyond the usual Saturday, this is the place to be. Connect, talk, laugh, repeat.

Have you ever wondered how you could make money as a writer? You dream of being more independent or taking the next steps, but don't know how? Or you are trying to find an audience willing to pay for your words? Then this **WORKSHOP on CROWDFUNGING you own WRITING PROJECTS** is exactly for you! **🤑💰😎** This workshop have limited seats available**. Reserve your spot today!** **ABOUT THE EVENT** Let's face it: making money as a writer isn't easy. 😢 Here, I'll will present strategies and experiences with **CROWDFUNDING** so that you, too, can get (financial) wind in your writing career! 😀💸🤩 I will give a presentation of financies strategies on two platforms: **KICKSTARTER** and **PATREON** based on my own succesful project which has raised more than 10,000 USD last year on [Kickstarter "The Dessert that Changed the World"](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jens-notroff/the-dessert-that-changed-the-world). I will also talk about my recently launched [Patreon page](https://www.patreon.com/corradonai) which is off to a great start. The focus will be on my own (science) writing, but you will learn tools applicable to raising funds for ***any*** writing. From this workshop you will get away with is and plans for *your own* writing project. You will gain plenty of ideas, inspirations and suggestions that can be used on *any* projects, genres, mediums, plans you are developing, and crowdfunding platforms you want to explore. After a presentation (about 30-45 minutes) about crowdfunding, focussing on what worked well, and what didn't work that well, we will have a practical exercise, a group discussion, and there will be time for questions. At the end of the presentation, everyone will be prompted to prepare a short plan and pricing of their (mock) public facing crowdfunding campaign. You will be asked to answer the following questions: What products you'd like to offer as reward to supporters? How would you price them? What other strategies could you use to get succesfully funded? What are your goals? After about 20-30 minutes of work on your assignment, we will discuss together (some) of the plans presented by attendees. For any questions not answered in the project description, feel free to post a comment in the event page. We have organised this event before, as well as plenty of other workshops... take a look! * **[ABC of CROWDFUNDING](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/events/310560709/)**[ (Workshop) 🤑💰😎 How to fund your WRITING PROJECTS!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/events/310560709/) * [Workshop: how to craft the perfect logline 📝 with Jakarta Writers](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-writers/events/313460242) * [Introduction to SCREENWRITING for FILM & TV 🎞️🍿 with Jakarta Creatives](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-writers/events/311945504/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=428578398) * [How to SELF-PUBLISH & build an AUDIENCE as a writer 💪👏 with Jakarta Creatives](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/events/311773715/) * [Fun Writing Challenge (July 2025)](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/events/308515579/) * [Writers' Club (May 2025)](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/events/307536966/) * [Shut!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
