made giving.github.com for collaborative meaningful coding

In plain words

Made Giving is a platform that connects programmers with charities and nonprofit organizations seeking coding assistance. It serves developers interested in contributing their skills to meaningful causes while helping nonprofits access technical talent. The site hosts project requests from organizations working to improve the world, aiming to bridge the gap between the programming community and charitable organizations unaware of available developer support.

In the maker’s words, at launch

http://giving.github.com A few weeks back, from a conversation around helping make the world a truly better place, we started a site where charities, organizations and those trying to make the world better could ask us programmers for help. The site is hard to establish as those doing meaningful work and in need of…

  Wassup everyone, I've launched an online community and collective, called Code Cause. -- Why did you create Code Cause? I'm a purpose driven person who strives to do good. I'm far from perfect, but I work tirelessly to spread positivity and make a positive impact in all areas of my life. With that being said, I created Code Cause to bring together people who share that same drive - to use technology as a force for good and build solutions that truly serve humanity. I do not have all the answers nor do I know everything, so this community is for us to come together and merge our perspectives…

  My weekend project to connect coders with non-profits2011 · coderswhocare.org · ▲10

  After a weekend of coding, last night I launched a very early-version MVP of Coders Who Care. - The goal of the site is to connect nonprofits with developers willing to donate time to a good cause. Right now, it's simply a directory, but in the future I'll be adding more tools for devs and organizations, including ways for charities to post projects and tools to notify developers when a project is posted that matches their interests, etc. I'll also introduce some social components, like recommendations/endorsements, and I have plans for eventually adding a software distribution system that…

  Talanoa▲345

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
