Tried out @Angor over the weekend -- very cool project
I don't envy the job they have ahead of them
Fundraising platforms have a lot of moving parts, attract crappy users (scammers & virtue signalers), suffer from a killer chicken-and-egg problem, and are difficult to make sustainable (often need to be donation based themselves)
But they've made an excellent start, and their platform is very impressive on a technical level

Just tried out receipt.cash by @Arjen live at #BH2025 hackathon presentations
It's a service for splitting bills with automatically generated Cashu + Lightning invoices
Receipt parsing made possible with @PayPerQ
Very cool!

TIL macOS has built-in background sounds for focusing
Still prefer Brain.FM and Noisli.com though


I've been telling everyone keen to get into software development for a while now that the game has completely changed.
You no longer need to know how to program or even understand the basics of computer science.
With tools like @PayPerQ , Replit.com, v0.dev, Bolt.new, Cursor.com, Builder.io, and Lovable.dev, you can already build better software than most engineers could three years ago.
Yesterday, I decided to prove this by live-coding an event management and ticketing web app with Bitcoin payments on X.
To make it more interesting, I built the frontend using only Carrd.co and vanilla JavaScript.
Check out the results here:
