For those who don&#x27;t know (like me, up until a few minutes ago), Watsi has a feature to allow monthly automatic donations: <a href="https://watsi.org/monthly" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;watsi.org&#x2F;monthly</a><p>Currently only 84 people are signed up for it -- let&#x27;s see how far up we can get that.<p>Edit: Up to 90 in an hour! That&#x27;s just pure awesome.

Awesome, gave me a great glimpse of something, I&#x27;m not sure what you guys are, but it looks cool.<p>Web usability suggestion: Click as I might, I could not find a link anywhere to the Watsi home page. Call me lazy, but I still have not visited it. If there was a link to it I might have clicked on it and gone there.

This post does a great job of showing a simple truth that many people forget: when you genuinely help a person, you are also helping everyone in that person&#x27;s &quot;sphere&quot;. There is a kind of exponential echoing effect when you are good-to.

This was absolutely beautiful.<p>Highlighting: FOOTNOTES: PS - We&#x27;re hiring a senior full-stack engineer. Email chase@watsi.org for more info.

I&#x27;m not entirely sure that as a patient in one of these hospitals, I&#x27;d appreciate the (white) girl with a camera strapped to her forehead walking through the place.<p>Trading patient privacy for donations seems like a worse deal than needs to be made here.

Maybe it&#x27;s my browser but I only see a picture, no story.<p>Or is it the picture that&#x27;s cool?

It&#x27;s always amazing to see people travel the world and make an impact. It&#x27;s easy to be hyper-focused on growth metrics and silicon valley that you can lose sight of the bigger picture.

Why doesn&#x27;t Watsi open source its code so developers can donate their time?

Pretty slick storytelling design. Anyone know if this blog is built on top of something (medium&#x2F;wordpress) or is it custom?

From Conkeror I cannot find any text, only a photogram.

I immediately stopped reading upon the first sentence: &quot;Our trip started with a RTY (Read This Yo) Level 1,000 text.&quot;<p>Look, I like RPGs as much as the next nerd, but there&#x27;s no reason to purposefully obfuscate what you&#x27;re trying to say by needlessly throwing in garbage like this.<p>And &quot;Read This Yo&quot;? Seriously?
