Wow, really cool. I like the idea and the development process. Very bare-bones MVP, but still useful. You'll even get to have an excuse to market it wherever you go. "Hey, why are you dressed like a cowboy?" "It's for charity. I have this website..."

Thanks so much. It would be hilarious to walk around like a cowboy in the middle of a big city in the summertime. If I have to wear that for a whole month it better be great marketing! :)

Awesome app!

I was about to donate but then I felt shy about handing my credit card info over to an app that was built in two days. Give me the warm fuzzies about my credit card number being safe and I'll donate. :)

Haha, I totally understand. Rest assured that the payment processing is all buttoned up. We use Paypal Website Payments Pro behind SSL encryption. All of the other $500+ in donations have gone through without a single hitch.

So there, I hope you are feeling the warm fuzzies right now. And huge thanks for wanting to donate to someone you only met over the interwebs. That gives me the warm fuzzies. :)

Cool. One more thing: do you store the credit card number (either database or log files)?

Nope. We process the transaction and that's the last time we touch the number. It's not stored anywhere in our system.

Warm fuzzies accomplished. Donated!

Warning: not about the Model View Presenter pattern. In this case it stands for Minimum Viable Product.

Or Microsoft's Most Valued Person.

I always called it Model View Controller... MVC

MVP is a derivative of MVC, but there are more specific expectations around a Presenter than there are around a Controller.
