Inspiration
Many existing volunteering opportunities rely on existing relationships between student organizations and charities. We want to make philanthropy accessible to students who aren't in a student organization or want a low-commitment start to volunteering.
What it does
The app matches volunteers and charities based on their preferences, availability, and compatibility. Users and organizations can compete on leaderboards, like and comment on others’ posts to congratulate them for their hard work. Charitable organizations can also collaborate and co-host joint events. Once a user has completed a volunteering task, it gets uploaded to their feed for others to see.
How we built it
We built the backend in Go, and the frontend on HTMX. This allows us to separate the business logic from the frontend user.
