| "look, this is cool!" passion to me.

| This is a delight!

| This site is a great reminder that almost everyone visiting
| Hacker News has a set of skills which can be put to beneficial
| use for causes you care about - this is a small, simple, cheap
| site (and I mean that in a good way!) that attracts attention,
| awareness, and donations to something the author cares about.
| It's easy for us, but it's magic for most people. Don't let your
| tech industry imposter syndrome fool you - we can do valuable
| things to forward causes we care about.
|
| Also, it's adorable!
