Hmm idea: we make an app that tracks all of this political crap such as laws, candidates, policy, etc... from the users local level to federal. Like, upcoming county laws that are being voted on, state laws and federal. Maybe even have comment sections to discuss the law being passed or politician. Of course heavy moderation to keep conversations on subject.
I had this idea for a while and was going to try to make it but I realized I dont have the skills or network to get this done. This app should help with uneducated voters not vote for people like xiden.
This would be a great idea for a non profit. I would be willing to volunteer my skills in sys administration and growing skills in networking to support it.
This needs sticky we need more ideas like this!
As I said, I cannot do much, besides be on the team for a vision of the outcome. I could probably donate a bit to the cause if we can get a group to work on this. All you smart code people will have to work on the details. I code but only dumb robot.
I don't code, but I build servers and networks, manage virtual environments and user directories and access management. Funding is the biggest issue. You can get volunteers, great, but good work is seldom free. I would suggest getting a group together to build the idea on paper in the form of an official project proposal and then pitch it to a major investor, someone or group of people willing to fund the basic setup. Once its up and can support enough to begin crowd funding, I think it would take off.
All I can do is give the idea to the world, as I said, I don't have the knowledge to do this. I don't even want anything just to see it free from biased.
Ill post this in a few areas. I am sure some coder is up for the challenge.
