As folks get back to work: This MSF/Yemen campaign started with my $15,000 pledge; ended with almost $230,000.

I will write thank you emails as best I can, but the MSF donation page and tools are .. a bit lacking. 802 donations. Can't download.
Donation pages of life-saving NGOs are .. so crummy. Maybe tech people who want to do good can help fix that? Big need, area of expertise.
what was wrong with the MSF one? Seemed to work pretty easily
Not set up for matching the way I did. I have 802 donations; no way to download emails with people's messages to write thank you.
The text editor is a mess; if the font size accidentally changes, goood luuuuuck. Runs a stupid flash thermometer, drove me nuts.
Localization was an issue; people found weird workarounds to donate from abroad. (First pretend phone number is US number...)
As we found out: pledge match challenge/donate works very well; no way to do that. Should be a tool! Set up a matching drive!
Dashboard shows me "rank" of my campaign compared to others; that bothered me. Every campaign is good; not a competition.
gamification gone awry
Yeah. Someone told them gamification? I think good for "here, match my pledge". Not for "rank my campaign".
