Amplify (https://getamplify.org) helps grassroots groups that are resisting Trump's authoritarianism. It started at Indivisible SF, and is now in use by Indivisible groups across the country (and spreading quickly -- we have people helping groups on board and supporting them).
To try it out, use a mobile phone to open https://getamplify.org/install and then join Indivisible SF with the invite code 101-202-303.
The product is just a shadow of what it could be. There's currently only one full-time volunteer on the product/engineering front (Ted, Y Combinator S11, previously created a Facebook application that grew to 25 million people).
Current stack:
- javascript
- react (web-based team admin panel)
- react native (iOS + android apps)
- firebase, MySQL
- node
Knowing javascript is a must; knowing React would help a lot, everything else you could learn on the fly! The ideal person could go from wireframes to a working product.
We're planning to keep the core software team pretty small, and write code that keeps everyone highly leveraged.
Yep!
Don't want to also amplify fringe groups promoting violence, etc.
