I love your idea for Free Code Camp. I love it so much that I did the same thing a few years ago. Unfortunately, after approaching and talking to dozens of nonprofits, we gave up. The Boards of NPOs tend to be highly egotistical, highly possessive morons. I can't tell you how many times we weren't allowed to fix an awful website because it had been a Board member's pet project done by one of their friends or relative…
Wait, did you do freecodecamp.com or a similar idea on your own? The camp sets me up with the nonprofits. http://www.freecodecamp.com/nonprofits/directory
Similar idea on my own. My understand was that you started Free Code Camp.
When we actually did projects, they would accept the work, semi-cooperate, and then bury the finished product because the Board wouldn't approve it.
Even if we didn't have someone hovering over the project, trying to micromanage it, we always ended up with a committee-based feedback system. No matter what we did, someone would hate some part of it and demand it be changed.

#54I'm working on a receipt-saving service for small businesses/freelancers: https://receiptron.com/ The goal is to make it the easiest way to save receipts. No app to install, no complicated expense report forms to fill out, just take a picture of the receipt with your phone camera, email it to our specially-trained robots, and it gets saved and sorted for you for later.
This is absolutely brilliant! I might sign up just for my own personal use. That said, when I was a contractor, I would've paid double that for a service like this--if this works as well as it claims, the amount of time saved during tax season would more than justify $100 a year.
Edit: Never mind, I thought this worked using OCR. It's still a cool service, but I wrote this comment under that assumption, so unfortunately I'm a little less excited about it.
