Tell HN: Revoltlike.com - Revolt like an Egyptian

revoltlike.com

To help support the cleanup & transition, I made Revoltlike.com tonight. Very simple - buy a tshirt, and all profits will be going to charities in Egypt.

It would probably inspire more confidence to at least name the charity that you are planning on donating the money to. Donating to "Egypt" is great, but a lot of folks these days are wary of donation sites (like this one) that tend to spring up after major disasters without a clear plan of action. We've all been a little too burned by the Haiti charities that took a 40% cut off the top of all donations[1].

Also, you say "100% of sales" -- does that mean you are essentially eating the cost of the t-shirt itself? Or do you mean "100% of profits"?
