Show HN: 501c3 Free Election Campaign Platform for Local Candidates http://bit.ly/2VuJl9U

Show HN: 501c3 Free Election Campaign Platform for Local Candidates OurSociety is a 501c3 non-profit based in NJ that developed a free campaign platform (beta) for local candidates. As a non-technical founder, I relied on outsourced development work and a team of volunteers to help drive efforts. We launched the platform in April of 2018 and today we've released our impact report of our first-year efforts: Highlights: * In 2018 77% of local candidates in New Jersey had no dedicated website or Facebook page about their campaign * 50% of candidates had no online presence at all (No personal website or Facebook) * 192 Citizen Users and 18 Candidate Users participated in our Beta launch * Our Citizen Users were from 62 different municipalities across the state * We believe that our findings demonstrate a genuine need to continue our efforts to open up access to local politics for New Jersey residents.

We do this by providing dish-level reviews. Users find highly reviewed dishes on Simmer, choose the delivery platform of their liking, and we deep link them into their chosen delivery app. We essentially lead gen to delivery. We started working on Simmer because we loved trying new restaurants, but never knew what to order. Especially, when there’s a 5 page menu. We always asked ourselves, “Why aren’t there ratings for individual dishes?” We launched our app with this restaurant-centric use case (reviews for every dish at every restaurant), but when we rolled out delivery integrations, we realized that users resonated most with the delivery angle.
