I built CommunityFix because I was tired of people's reactions to the world's current problems: "we're doomed" and "one person can't make a difference."
I believe everyone have skills, ideas, or resources and connecting them can create real impact.
To coordinate the efforts and prevent solving already solved problems, I've built CommunityFix as an open-source knowledge graph linking:
- issues
- solutions
- case studies (of course even the failed ones)
The goal isn't a single "best answer," but easier discovery, collaboration, and reuse of existing knowledge. A later goal is opening a non-profit and starting to fund the best projects that come out of the platform.
For more context, right now I'm only in the seeding phase. I'm also contacting as much as possible founders of impact projects so they can share they're knowledge, but also NGOs and associations.
We in India have very good people's movements who hold power to root out corruption and have impact on government but these movements' leaders have shown a tendency of getting co opted by the ruling BJP

Feedback welcome, especially from civic tech, knowledge base, moderation, or open data folks.
