Getting started with techforgood – what I’ve found so far (jamescrowley.net)

I'm going to plug a project I'm working on because I'd love help, and it's for good causes!

It's called OneFiftyOne and I'm trying to build a software for volunteer managers. I have a lot of experience mostly as a volunteer but also as a manager, and I've found that the industry-standard tools rarely extend more than WhatsApp and a Google sheet called "volunteers".

The landing page is at https://www.onefiftyone.run and a general overview I wrote is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MSGSEsGjqlKRSGo8r5eX7_bs...

If anyone is interested in testing the system out or even helping, I'm a single-developer working nights and weekends looking to get things rolling!


Thanks for sharing @mooreds! If anyone knows of things I've missed or should share, I'd would love to hear from you.


Hey! Thanks for your write-up! The things I would add (that I know of) are RagTag and The Democracy Labs.
