LeftyDevKit is an open-source toolkit and community of progressive tech builders.
We build tools that help candidates, organizers, and communities fight for a more just future.
The right has billions. We have git push and a dream.
The right has billionaires funding their tech infrastructure. The left has us. I like our odds.
Let's state the obvious: the right wing pours billionaire money into political tech — polished websites, data operations, targeted ad systems, media infrastructure that makes Fox News look like a garage project (it's actually worse — they have Peter Thiel's Palantir contractors building their infrastructure).
The left competes with passion, grassroots organizing, and people who believe in something bigger than themselves. That's not nothing — it's everything. But passion doesn't deploy a Docker container or A/B test a donation page.
We're building the tech infrastructure the left needs to meet the moment. Not by outspending — by outbuilding.
LeftyDevKit is the toolkit for that mission. Free campaign site templates for progressive candidates. Open-source scrapers that hold power accountable (ProPublica energy, community-powered). Data visualizations that make the truth impossible to ignore. A community of people who code for a cause instead of a cap table.
The right has the money. We have organize(), while (!free) {fight()},
and each other.
If you're a progressive candidate, organizer, or activist — these tools are free. No strings. No gatekeeping. No "we'll need to run this by our sponsors." Just code that works for people who are trying to make the world less shitty.
What we're building right now
A fast, modern, mobile-responsive website template for progressive candidates. Deploy in minutes, customize in hours. Free for anyone running for office — no questions asked.
Building nowDistributed hate speech archival — evidence collection for accountability. Think the DDoSecrets ethos applied to organized hate platforms. Community-powered, legally careful, publicly archived.
Research phaseInteractive data visualization of American political power — from Supreme Court decisions to congressional voting patterns, dark money flows, and district-level demographics. See who actually runs shit.
In progressReal-time tracker documenting corruption cases and ethics violations by the Trump administration since January 2025. Data-sourced, fact-checked, updated live. Because someone has to keep score.
Building nowEmbeddable tools for any progressive site: call-your-rep widgets, district data cards, protest proximity maps, and action alert systems. Drop-in HTML, zero configuration, works everywhere.
PlanningAn AI streaming cohost that listens, learns, and helps build on stream. Dialogue generation, TTS voice, overlay integration — the whole pipeline. Because building alone is boring.
Building nowEverything here is built in public, live on stream. Every line of code. Every bug. Every time I yell at my computer.
Progressive candidates and organizations get priority. I'll build it with you — on stream, for free. No contracts. No "let's circle back." Just code that works, built in public.
