's web app. This is a nonprofit (helping you make a plan for switching to solar & electric appliances) and they've pulled off better performance and UI/UX than most banks/ecommerce giants.

What if, instead of replacing humans and building shoddy software to solve nonexistent problems, AI-driven productivity boosts were used to make things ~work better~.

We can build a set of tools for disaster/emergency/humanitarian responses. I am based in Cairo so we are seeing spikes of demands for housing, medical supports regularly whenever conflict starts in the region. Having a fast mechanism to connect arrivals and mutual aid groups would be amazing.

Someone asked the difference between Bluesky and Mastodon and I told them that they're both food courts, but with Mastodon you have to get your whole meal from one place and with Bluesky you can mix and match. (X is a giant IHOP with no other options). Thoughts?
