If all you want is to donate a couple bucks a month to a charity, just donate a couple bucks a month to the charity

I'm working on a non-profit search engine (https://ask.moe) where the plan is to donate 80% of the profits to charities chosen by our users. Google have approved my AdSense account but for some reason then they disable the ads whenever I turn on revenue share (but they're fine with showing ads if I turn it off.. I don't quite understand the logic behind this behavior).

The plan is to provide a general-purpose search engine powered by Google, and then build our own category-specific search engines which will yield much better results thanks to filters.

It's currently written in Vue.js but I'm planning to rewrite it in React/Next.js + TailwindCSS. I would love to team up with people on HN if anybody is interested.

Isn't guidestar a thing?

Maybe building a consumer app for iOS/Android - you can pick a pretty standard idea or look through the list of popular apps and implement something similar with IAP. You won't make a living doing this without serious investment in marketing, sales and product but you can probably bring in a little bit of $ per month. I guess I would question the efficiency of this based on your hourly rate and how long you'd spend building this versus just donating money or time directly to charity.

You could also help a charity build an app they need and save them thousands of dollars.

Or build a website that matches charities with benevolent developers. Oh wait that exists:

I want an Android app that does this: samples my location data at a regular interval (that I define) and posts it to an URL (that I also define). I run a lot and would prefer to track my own runs vs having my data live on RunKeeeper or wherever.

Excuse me if I’m missing something, but why do you need the internet at all? Can’t you collect your location with a GPS watch as you run and just handle the gpx file offline when you get home?

Unless you’re looking to share location with others as you run - in which case your request makes sense.

Would OwnTracks meet your requirements? https://owntracks.org/

An app that does what I'm asking could serve as a generic way of getting my location data into any number of projects.

As to why not buy a running watch: I already have a smartphone.

OwnTracks seems to cover my use case, but has a lot of unnecessary features built in. I can probably use that.
