Ask HN: Is the idea of CascadeFund clear and interesting? (early landing page)

1•ahmetson•1h ago
Hi, all! I’m Medet Ahmetson. Currently, working on CascadeFund, a nonprofit concept that explores a new way for internet. Initially starting as the PR/monetization platform for the open-source maintainers.

Right now it’s just a landing page explaining the idea, and concept. Aiming to launch — I’m trying to find out whether the message is clear, or if the concept even resonates with people.

Links: Main landing page: https://cascadefund.org/ Maintainer page: https://cascadefund.org/maintainer/work

What I’d love feedback on:

1. Is the idea understandable from the landing page alone? 2. Does the problem statement make sense? 3. Is this interesting to you as maintainers or OSS donor? 4. Does the concept seem useful or flawed? What’s missing?

There’s a wishlist signup on the site, but the purpose of this post isn’t to promote it — I’m genuinely trying to test whether the communication is clear and whether this direction is worth pursuing. Aim of wishlist is to have proof, and later to apply for the grant to launch the project.
