Since I lead the Ubuntu Edge campaign, I have been trying to keep up with other crowd funding projects. I am mainly interested on technology and gadgets, and I have found it hard to navigate Kickstarter, but also to have to keep hoping between Kickstarter and Indiegogo to see what is going on. Specially since now, seems like interesting projects are evently split between them. You might share my friction on this… so I give you Techfunder:
Techfunder is an Android app that provides an easy way to browse crowd funding projects launched across the main industry websites. Techfunder gathers Technology and Design projects from Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
Using Techfunder side navigation you can easily switch between:
- Popular
- New this week
- Staff Picks
- Design – Popular
Then you can browse as many projects on a compact scrollable list. Just click on the project you are interested to expand into a full screen view.From there you can tell the world about it using the share button.
If you want to contribute or found out more about it, click on the “browse” button and Techfunder will launch the project page in your web browser. When you are finished, just press the Android back button to return to Techfunder.
I am currently planning to add a favourites/watchlist functionality and looking into a way to select additional crowd sourcing platform. I hope you enjoy it!
