Comment on: Show HN: FundNI – Indexing fragmented community funding across Northern Ireland
Funding for community groups, charities, sports groups etc. is fragmented across 11 council regions and their websites, then a pile of NI wide funders.The goal is to pull all of the open funding opportunities in to an easy to use index that makes it easy for users to get to the information. No sign up for users.Really looking for feedback on what is working and not working at this point.Anyone who has built anything similar in different areas have any tips?
