I built a gamified forum to help hackers fund each other

In plain words

Hackers Stash is a gamified forum launched in 2020 that enables hackers to fund each other's projects. The platform combines community discussion features with game mechanics to encourage participation and support among members. It's designed for hackers seeking both collaborative spaces and funding opportunities for their work, offering a structured way to share ideas and request or provide financial backing within the community.
