Coil membership giveaways would be cool to get small portion of people gets started and to get their testimony first before recommending them to other people. I recalled Andrzej Mazur (@end3r ) did some giveaways for some participants for his games competition. Would be great if we can buy bulk membership giveaways directly from Coil dashboard somehow.

You can still reach out to Coil folks for the codes, but yeah, being able to just bulk buy a set would be so much easier. And yes, giving "test" accounts to devs made a huge difference, as they were able to debug the entries on their own before submitting to the competition.
