After 4 weeks of work and planning, I finally released my latest project today, 15th August to the public. As expected, it is only a partial beta release. I say ‘partial beta release’ because there’s a lot of growth space for the project and many things I plan to add. Ok back to the basics, I hadn’t made much noise about Causerific prior to today, not because I wanted to keep it from people but primarily because I needed to focus on making it simple, building it right and getting it to the point where I thought it was worth sharing.
My idea for Causerific is simple: A platform for anyone who needs help, to come share this need with the world and find people who are willing/able to help. With Causerific, I want people to be able to post any “need” whatsoever and get it out there to the world. With that in mind, I made it possible for people to come in and donate money to a good cause or donate their time (by physically offering hep). Over time, there will be other ways people will be looking to offer help and ways to track these offerings. That’s the focus of the next update.
To create a cause you must sign up/in. I have tried to make the process as simple as possible and feedback/suggestion is very welcome. A key component of the site is the location and maps feature. With this feature, you can check in at your current location and find causes close to where you are. Some causes are listed as ‘global’ and others as ‘local’.
In conclusion, Causerific is simply a platform to connect people and so it is your important responsibility to verify the validity of causes before you donate time, donate money or even recommend it to people. Read the reviews, call the phone number listed or email the cause creator to find out how valid this cause is. At the moment, Causerific doesn’t verify, it is something we have in the works though. I certainly hope you enjoy using Causerific and find a way of making a difference in the world.
