I&#x27;m wary of this as a way to raise funds for a candidate. It feels like &quot;Trust us, we&#x27;ll totally give the money to someone, someday.&quot; Even if that is true, there are presumably costs to build and run the site, so less than 100% of you money will get to the candidate.<p>It seems like there would be more value in making this free to play, and using any popularity to get a message out.

I was looking at the website and trying to connect the dots--the thing I&#x27;m wondering is how 2020 madness knows about a donation.<p>Is 2020 madness a wrapper to a candidate&#x27;s ActBlue landing page &#x2F; site, collecting form data for it&#x27;s purposes and re-transmitting it to ActBlue or is there a tie to the receipt or some other mechanism?<p>Interesting gamification idea btw.

Built with GraphQL&#x2F;Apollo, React, Node, Material-UI in a few weeks by some ex-Dropbox, ex-Airbnb and current Slack folks. Designed to raise money for the eventual candidate, whoever it ends up being. Ask us anything and let us know any ideas for making it more fun!

If anyone wants a few free coins to play around with, reply with your twitter handle (that you used to sign in to the site) and we&#x27;ll credit you! (But really you should donate because climate change!)
