New Project Launch: UniThrive.org

Where have I been the last few months? Busy building and launching UniThrive.org!

UniThrive.org is a fantastic new non-profit startup that seeks to help reduce the cost of higher education by networking college students with alumni, and facilitating direct, zero-interest loans between alumni and students to defray tuition costs.

Technologically, UniThive is a Rails application that began as a fork of the open-source social networking application Insoshi. Since forking Insoshi, we've nearly doubled the size of the code.

Today, Insoshi is in a live beta test available to students and alumni of Harvard University. Take a look, and check out the UniThive Blog!
