For more context, right now I'm only in the seeding phase. I'm also contacting as much as possible founders of impact projects so they can share they're knowledge, but also NGOs and associations.

Hi HN,

I built CommunityFix because I was tired of people's reactions to the world's current problems: "we're doomed" and "one person can't make a difference."

I believe everyone have skills, ideas, or resources and connecting them can create real impact.

To coordinate the efforts and prevent solving already solved problems, I've built CommunityFix as an open-source knowledge graph linking:

- issues - solutions - case studies (of course even the failed ones)

The goal isn't a single "best answer," but easier discovery, collaboration, and reuse of existing knowledge. A later goal is opening a non-profit and starting to fund the best projects that come out of the platform.

Feedback welcome, especially from civic tech, knowledge base, moderation, or open data folks.

Yes, that's really stupid

Not all websites are PWAs, and on linux those websites shows differently.

That's neat!

1. Yes

2. This could do the trick for you https://askubuntu.com/a/251738/1163389 make it point to the desktop file that ftwa created in this folder: ~/.local/share/applications

FTWA was created for linux in the first place. I then added support for macOS as requested, but yeah on macOS is pretty similar to PWAs.

Yes, it's pretty much the same for macOS I guess. On linux it's pretty different, I was using .desktop files over PWAs for years because of their bad UI on Linux.

I don't think it qualifies for SetApp, and I want to deliver ot freely.

Basically yes, but the shortcut open a frameless browser.

This was just a side project, I was using .desktop files to launch some websites and thought it was still pretty unknown by most people. So I created this website.

No that's exactly what I wanted to avoid, this would be similar to what electron does.

With FTWA apps are still websites, it's just another way of opening them without distractions of the browser frame.

It's different in the fact that PWAs needs to be setup by the website's developer.

Yes I saw this option as well, but it seems that it's not possible for macOS

Thanks!

- Yes I could create a second firefox preset for snap installs - I would prefer not to touch such sensible files, but will give instructions on how to do it manually

Oh pretty strange, could you please raise on issue on GitHub so I can have any chance of debugging this?

Thanks! Will have a look to all the issues one I have a bit more time. And yes I should leave a note about Ctrl+Q has I've got myself too

Thanks! Yes I didn't realized I don't speak about this on the website, good advice!

> You can make money ethically even as a company.

That's what I'm talking about, there is very not that much successful companies making money ethically. At one point or another they seems to make a decision that will trade ethics for money.

> Trusting companies was a no-no in the first place.

I meant "trusting" a company like Cloudflare to host my code/being my CDN.

Or for example when you take a flight with a Boeing plane, you're somewhat trusting the company that your plane will not lose a door...

Their latest update is shitty.
