OpenPledge is a charity giving app that enables donors to see exactly where their donations go, eliminating the lack of transparency often associated with donating to small charities online. The app leverages blockchain technology for a public receipt, Google Gemini for personalized thank-you messages, ElevenLabs for natural-sounding voice recordings, and Snowflake for tracking and displaying donation totals and trends.
Users can view donations on a public ledger page, which is accessible without requiring login or signup. The application is built using Next.js, Bun, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, among other technologies, and is designed to be transparent and verifiable, with every transaction recorded on the Solana blockchain.
