We're part of a national alliance of community organizers, developers, and designers that are putting technology to work in service of our local communities. We believe that government can work, for the people, by the people, in the digital age, if we all help.

We’re excited to introduce our inaugural class of Code for Philly Tech Fellow.
Latest Project Activity
MATchMapper
Update #1
February 2021:
We are nearing completion of a working prototype. Our next steps are to:
- clarify key relationships between data sources and update our models to match,
- refine the Figma interface and mapping tools,
- engage potential users and stakeholders for further feedback, and
- revise both backend and frontend accordingly.
Malvern Recycling Resource Lookup
Update #4
The malvernrecycling.com site is live. I found cheap hosting via hostinger and hand coded basic HTML and CSS. I promoted this tool via a Malvern focused Facebook group and it was well received. The goal is for this resource to be continually updated and used as a quarterly input to the PA Dept of Environment Protection database within recyclesearch.com (https://recyclesearch.com/profile/padep-facility-directory).
How the Code for Philly fellowship helped me jumpstart my career
Ioannis Sporidis-Foster, a 2020 Code for Philly Fellow, describes his experience with the Fellowship.
User Documentation for Beginners
Sara Gormley, one of the 2020 Code for Philly fellows, writes a simple guide on why and how you need user documentation.
Eight Weeks as a DevOps Fellow
Robert Richey III, 2020 Code for Philly Fellow, writes about his experience learning DevOps.
Hacking Naloxone
Our hackathon journey of using data science to show naloxone’s effectiveness in saving lives from opioid overdoses
VoteWise.net
Update #26
So we are heating up into the election. We had nearly a thousand visitors this week and hope to continue the growth.
The site was written in AngularJS which is being deprecated next June. This may leave us vulnerable to attack after that. So, we have to rebuild the whole thing in modern Angular. Now would be a great time to let us know of any problems you see or any cool things you would LIKE to see so we can plan for it.
And of course, we can always use coding help.
