We made a site to crowd fund lobbying.
Hey guys, So we made this site with the goal of funding a lobbyist to represent the 99%. The money comes from small pledges of $5 and up. So far we've raised nearly $10k in under a week. We're focusing fund raising efforts on causes. I'm the founder and lead developer, and I'd love to hear this community's thoughts on the project as well as answer any questions. Thanks guys! http://www.wethelobby.com/
We made a site to crowd fund lobbying. launched on January 25, 2012 with 50 votes, #28 of 306 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 14 years on.
In plain words
We The Lobby is a crowdfunding platform that collects small donations to fund lobbyists advocating for grassroots causes. The site gathers verified constituent positions on bills before the Texas Legislature, allowing users to tell their legislators where they stand and track how representatives voted. Positions come only from users who prove they live in the district, creating a verified count rather than a poll. The platform raised nearly $10,000 in its first week through pledges starting at $5.

Verified constituent positions on bills before the Texas Legislature. Counts describe verified members only — they are not a poll.
Every position here comes from someone who proved they live in the district. The counts describe those verified members only, never everyone who lives there. A short list, chosen and published in advance of the session rather than assembled from whatever is loudest that week. None have been published yet. Each one is chosen and posted in advance, so the list cannot be curated after a vote hasfrom wethelobby.com

Hi everyone, I am organizing a crowdfunding campaign to give blankets/food/books/glasses and new year's postcards to 1000 homeless people in San Francisco. Since we as the residents already spend a lot of money on the homelessness issue in SF via government(200MM+/year), I thought some of us would be willing to take a more active role in fixing this issue by donating to campaigns like this one(and to more sustainable ones). So, I am thinking of turning this campaign into a crowdfunding platform for activists and organizations that want to work on homelessness related…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

- HI
I have been taking Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course. The lecture module on Neural Networks ends with an intriguing video of the ALVINN autonomous car driving itself along normal roads at CMU in the mid 90s. I was inspired by that video to see what I could build myself. A link to my incomplete write up was posted a couple of weeks ago (ouch!) but I finally finished it and open sourced the code tonight (so you can build your own self driving car). What do you think? http://blog.davidsingleton.org/nnrccar https://github.com/dps/nnrccar
