The Apptivists

Where tech meets activism. Pitch, hack, ship, repeat - until the world catches up.

Active

Since 2026

Resistbot and similar apps have shown that developers can have outsized civic impact, and that when given an outlet, people rise to the occasion. Many of us are frustrated with the state of things and looking for that outlet. I'm putting together a group of activist developers — we will brainstorm ideas, pick the ones with the most potential, and ship quick MVPs together. Discord server is up and running. As a jumping-off point, I’ve pitched a WIP real-time boycott app- but your ideas are just as valuable as your time. If you have a project that needs sharp technical people, or just want to contribute any amount of time or expertise to a deserving project, we'd love to have you in The Apptivists.
