Hey there! Thanks so much for stopping by. Hopefully you’ll find this collection of resources interesting or helpful in some way. The aim here was to boost the signal for digital organising and creative campaign resources, enabling community groups and independent candidates to find inspiration quickly and easily. So that we can support all independent and future-facing community leaders, in their ambitions to build collective momentum for change.
Made in 2019 with ❤️ in 🇦🇺 for progressive campaigners.
In case you’re interested, I thought I’d share how this site was built using the following nocode tools. Keep in mind that although many of the tools require a basic paid subscription (things like Notion and Airtable), they’re also tools that you can use for other projects, often under the same plan. Just in case you were wondering . . 🤓
Content Management System
Notion is an All-in-one workspace. One tool for your whole team to Write, plan, and get organized.

Notion is where I keep all my notes - the draft notes and private stuff sits on a private page, and then this site has its own pages which are used to deliver the content for this site. At the end of the day, Notion's offers you a set of building blocks for creating things you can use personally for your own work or within a closed team, or on an open platform to drive a site like this.

Airtable is an easy-to-use online platform for creating and sharing relational databases.
It’s basically Excel or Google Sheets on hyperdrive. The big difference between Airtable and these other spreadsheet platforms, is that whilst Excel is still the best tool for complex mathematical or financial calculation sheets that require multi-sheet reference and complex calculations - Airtable is the best for creating relational databases where you want to reference one category to another, or one record to a bunch of categories.
The user interface is simple, colorful, friendly, and allows anyone to spin up a database in minutes. You can store, organize, and collaborate on information about anything—like employee directories, product inventories, and even apartment hunting. You don't even have to learn what SQL stands for, let alone any scripting!
