Mù Chuàng Shè is a network community dedicated to the construction of websites related to Gāo Mù students and technical exchanges. Its predecessor, Chū Xíng, was established as an open-source organization on GitHub in March 2023, and was later renamed Mù Chuàng Shè in September 2023. Currently, it will merge with Mù Huì Shè to form "Mù Chuàng Huì Shè" (IP internal product consignment service, practical fan groups, and enterprise identity logos) within the architectural system. We have always been committed to the construction and maintenance of public welfare-related non-governmental sites for Gāo Mù students.
At present, our funding mainly comes from voluntary contributions from Mù Chuàng Shè members.

Server expenses: We encountered difficulties in server procurement. Before November, the Gāo Mù Fan community had previously used a Hong Kong server (approximately 39 yuan/month) purchased from a domestic IDC by Chū Xíng. However, due to a serious operational accident with this service provider in early October, all community data was lost, leading to the closure of the Gāo Mù Fan community. Subsequently, we explored other community construction methods, but none were satisfactory. In November, we moved the community, image hosting, and other services of Mù Chuàng Shè to a Japan server provided by WaterApple (25 USD/year).
-
Domain expenses: In order to facilitate user memory and provide better unified site services, we purchased some domain names with Gāo Mù characteristics. The domain names currently (previously) used by Mù Chuàng Shè include 4 domains (takagi3.cn, takagi3.top, takagi.icu, takagi3.fans), which were provided and renewed by Mù Chuàng Shè members Chū Xíng, Yī Zhǐ Sōng, and WaterApple.
-
Cloud storage expenses: The community, Gāo Mù image hosting, and Gāo Mù file resource station integrate multiple cloud storage services, including Bright Cloud, Cloudflare R2, Alibaba Cloud OSS, all provided and funded by Chū Xíng (pay-as-you-go); file storage is mainly provided by Nán Zhī and Yī Zhǐ Sōng for the comprehensive file hosting service of the Gāo Mù file resource station.
-
Cloud acceleration expenses: In order to provide better network services for users in mainland China, we use CDN cloud acceleration services for some sites. Currently, some sites are provided with CDN services by Vercel, Cloudflare, and AWS Cloudfront.
We are just a small team working out of love. All our efforts are driven by passion.
As of December 2023, the team has a total of 8 formal members, and some external individuals have also contributed to the site construction. We would like to thank them for their contributions without expecting anything in return.
