It hasn't really taken off like I had hoped, but I still stand by the idea, and I think I really nailed the UX. For something fairly complex there's no account to create, no configuration, no installer, just open it once and you're done. Anything my 95-year-old grandma can use without help is a success in my book.
The landing page is confusing, quickly looking at it can't really discern what the page is about. Something about charity, by whom for whom and how? Can't tell, already clicking the back button.
Ha, I originally planned on building it as a browser extension, but this gave better performance, could be more intelligent (e.g. stop running if the computer is working on something else), and was usable without a web browser.
