Great! I booked some time with you next week. Looking forward to our conversation. 

Thank you for very good suggestion Peter!

I just launched a very first beta version of http://www.giveinpublic.com/ Right now, the only functionality is that you can track your current donations and embed the dashboard through your socials/website. Would love to get some feedback and see if this is useful for the community. 

Thank you for that feedback! Definitely missed it.

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I have been thinking about this over the past days and created a small prototype of how to solve this problem better and why we might want to find a better way to solve it. 

I created a different post in this forum about it here:

Would love to get your thoughts and continue the discussion there.

There are actually some organisations that have an impact on both. For example burn stoves seem one way that works pretty well (Found them via Founders pledge I believe) 

Would love to stay in touch, I am pretty new to development but I some 'product' experience so would love to exchange ideas and get some feedback from you once I have something down. :) 

Thanks for the insight. I didn't know that the GWWC pledge tracker is something that you can share publicly. I thought it was just your personal dashboard to keep track of it. 

Do you share your GWWC pledge tracker with others or do you keep it private? I'd be curious to hear what your reasons for either option are!

Sorry, I was unclear! GWWC's list of members who have taken the pledge is public but yes the dashboard is (as far as I can tell) just for you to record donations privately.  

Very cool project! Would definitely love to have a look at the app itself that you build. If it's not too much work to share it in any way, I would definitely appreciate it. Did you build it in a way in which you can also share the webapp link directly? E.g. via your personal website?

Yes, I can share the app with a link directly, however the way I've built it right now people with the link can not only see our donations, but edit some stuff as well, so I don't want to share it outside our group right now. But I'm starting to realize that I might want to change that so it's easier to share progress with people outside our group. It's not really practical to share on your personal website as en embedd or something like that though. Instead it's a stand alone web app. I might make a template that others can use if anyone would be interested.  Do you have any ideas for features or something in particular you're looking for?  

Yeah that is what I have been doing as well, thanks! I am considering building something a bit more sophisticated, would love to get your feedback once I have something more concrete :) 

Yeah I have seen that as well, thanks for sharing! Do you know if you can actually share that publicly as well?

If it's possible to share I don't know how. I suspect not. It does have a summary chart that you could screenshot every once and a while: "You have donated $X  and fulfilled Y% of your pledge", for one each year and one for all time.

Thanks for the help! :) Do you share your donations in public anywhere as well?

There exists the option of generating a personalized invitation to join Ayuda Efectiva where you show information on your impact so far. It doesn't explicitly say the amount donated.
