Thanks for the support and suggestions! Since we launched Watsi with 0 funding, it was the ultimate MVP. Because of that, we've had some performance and backend things to fix up before jumping into new features (e.g. until recently our partners were individually emailing us patient profiles). But we're about to push some new features (Stripe integration, optional "tips" to Watsi, and a General Fund). They're coming soon, we promise!

Awesome! Also, I'm sure you've thought of this, but each profile should be updated when treatment is complete, and you should have a section where these success stories are published. This would lend tremendous credibility to those who look through the funded cases, but don't necessarily click over to the blog.

  We totally agree, and we're excited to to integrate updates into the platform as soon as possible. For now, you can view updates (and tons more info) for every patient we've ever funded on our Transparency Google Document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ah3wJ9CRQzyHdDZSaEF1X1JsRm1yZ251d0RQZ0VmRGc&output=html https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ah3wJ9CRQzyHdDZ...

I think the general fund is the most important option right now. I don't actually want to end up deciding who gets my money, I'd much rather see donations spread out among people who need them, based on medical urgency if possible (as opposed to who is most photogenic or who has the most touching story).
