You grab a candidate specific bingo card at eg. https://2020madness.com/bingo/yang
We are self-funding our minimal infra costs and the work is being done by volunteers on a part-time basis.
Why: Everyone has their current favorite Dem candidate, but we can all agree on one thing — we have to defeat Donald Trump. As the candidates spend money to compete, Trump continues to fill his war-chest. We want to help give the eventual candidate a better shot.
In addition to raising money, we’re hoping to also get more people engaged with what’s happening in national politics -- kind of how fantasy sports gets people paying more attention to sports.
There’s still a TON of work to do to make this awesome, but we decided to launch it early to get feedback and ideas. Please let us know any suggestions or questions!
But fundamentally it is a difference of design intent. Hackpad is not a replacement for a word processor. It is not designed for cosmetically designing papers or reports. Hackpad has been designed from the ground up for collaboration on ideas and for living documents (which evolve over time). It's in use in a number of leading tech companies (airbnb, stripe, upworthy) as well as on the open web.

A few of the weakest parts:
- for (var x in y) when used for array iteration or even dict iteration; hasOwnProperty? Really?
- x[obj] = y; seriously, did i really want '[Object object]' as my key?
- the choice of function level scope over block level scope
Yes. We back up hourly, and we give you a way to get a full html zip dump with a single http request.
> Similarly, where's the source? / Where's the install for private wikis, such as a company's private internal wiki?
Hackpad is not open-source but would a jar or VM you can run internally do the trick?
> Plugins? Nothing yet - we hope to make something
> What is preventing wiki spammers? Private instances are invite-only (or can be setup to automatically let people with certain email domains in), there's also revision history etc.
>Themes? Not yet.
>I see that groups are 'private' based on my invitations to them, but how can I be sure this isn't easily compromised?
Hackpad always runs on https and we take security seriously. Outside of that as I said - if there's interest we may offer a jar/vm you can run inside the firewall.
Thanks for the feedback / questions!
