Being a lazy college student I was having trouble keeping myself accountable on short tasks so I built a tool to fix that! Would love to have you give it a try & hear your feedback!

You’re relying on a lot of trust from your users here, if you’re the person that decides if they have kept their pledge or not. Also, not having a list of supported charities and just writing a blog post to prove where the money has gone is also asking a lot.

Instead, I would rather have your other users vote on whether a pledge was actually fulfilled, and have some better method of distributing the money to charities.

Thats a good idea. This was very much a v1, but in v2 I will incorporate your feedback!

I have no idea how will the tool know that I "succeeded": failing is covered in the FAQ, but not succeeding.

Fair point I should make that clearer. I will review your proof and if you succeed (keep your pledge) nothing happens and your card wont be charged :) Would love for you to give it a try and hear your feedback!

Don't forget to update your footer

Oops, thank you

What charities are supported?

Haven't thought about that yet, but the plan for V1 is to reappropriate all the proceeds to the right place and post a blog post highlighting proof ive done so, money in - money out.
