This is a project Iโ€™ve been working on with @vesterinen for a while now and weโ€™re really excited to finally launch it! While you check out the product, see also the design pattern library weโ€™ve been building for this: https://sliced.org/design/

@vesterinen @viljamis Hi, congrats to both of you for thinking and working on such a great initiative. ๐Ÿ‘ The design framework is really dope. How much time the design framework took from inception to execution?
Ariel Salminen
@vesterinen @prakharshivam Thanks man! Itโ€™s a bit hard to say exactly since we iterated over multiple ideas and versions while working on this, but I think roughly around a month.
Prakhar Shivam
@vesterinen @viljamis It's still a pretty good timeline! I would love to see how Sliced will evolve further. All the best! ๐Ÿ˜Š

@viljamis @prakharshivam Thanks Prakhar! There's a lot we want to do so hoping you'll see more soon.

Cool concept, could really help, how does the matching process work?
Ville Vesterinen
@aaronoleary Hi Aaron! Great question. We ask seven quick multiple-choice questions about the areas that interests you, where you live, type of work you do, your experience as well as your ideal way to work (remote, part-time, full-time, volunteer, etc). Based on these we then match you with opportunities from the selected group of companies, projects, campaigns and other organizations. We select partners that we believe have a real chance of making an impact on reversing climate change ๐ŸŒŽ From the ones that matches your criteria you can then choose the ones that you'd like to talk to. For those interested in local activism, we just want to know where you live and your email. Then bring the community together and provide them tools, knowledge and direction the best we can.

That's a good idea and site could help involve more people in solving global problems. I wish there were more environmental products at PH ๐Ÿ˜‰ Just one thing. I went through all registration process but was confused by the last step. How long am I supposed to wait for e-mail? I did not get it soon, so clarification of "soon" would be more friendly for the user. Really curious to see what's next. Good luck!
Ville Vesterinen
@nealbeat Thanks for pointing out the confusing messaging on our part Yulia. We haven't set up any auto-response template so 'soon' in this case means as soon as we get to your message and personally reply to you. We would like to talk to every person who sign-ups instead of pushing you to an automated funnel. We know it might be hard going forward but that's the aspiration. Give us 48 hours max. Thanks for your patience with this and you'll hear from us 'soon' :)

This is a really exciting project! I've been thinking a lot about maximizing the positive contribution I can create in the world recently. Eagerly waiting for my results. What inspired you guys to build this?
Ville Vesterinen
@kallefreese Thanks for the message Kalle. We're equally eager to see results as you are :) This project or something like it was long time coming. I have been quietly thinking about climate and the planet probably some five years trying to figure out how to tackle the impending disaster. Tried to start other projects/companies in between thinking I'd have the money to tackle the the big one if successful. Failed and stopped before actually even starting given I had no heart in it and lacked conviction. Obvious at hindsight. Over the years I did learn it's challenging to find a way to really have an impact on the outcome given the nature of climate change. Do something that matters at scale. Climate change has so many facets that there's no silver bullets. Even Sliced started with a different focus but ultimately it's really build to solve my own problem - to be able to look at the mirror in the morning and work on the biggest and most serious challenge we have yet to face. That is not to say there are many other worthy causes I would love to work on but this is the one I can't escape. I was fortunate enough to persuade Viljami to join the quest so that there's someone who can actually build great products.

Sliced looks good! I would like to write an interview about it at https://startupradius.com/ at no cost at all - please fill the form on the website, or PM at paul@startupradius.com
Ville Vesterinen
@startupradius @paul_shuteyev Thanks Paul! Would love to. Will PM
Paul Shuteyev
@vesterinen glad to hear that, will be waiting for your message! Have an awesome day at ProductHunt!
Matt Mansour
Such a great idea. Thanks for creating something that helps heal the planet. I love the clean site design and the smooth on-boarding.
Ville Vesterinen
@matt_mansour Thanks Matt! You can thank @viljamis for the clean design and onboarding. He's the real deal.
Uros Durdevic
When in the end of registration you offer sharing to other platforms the message should be more meaningful. Instead of "Ch-chek it out" I wrote something like this "Take care about the future of our planet with joining the community of helpers". Overall pretty much interested how is this going to work! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Ville Vesterinen
@itkosarkas Love your thoughtful response. You're so right and your suggestion is perfect. We tried to be funny since we're Beastie Boys fans but clearly failed here. Given the severity of the issue I personally struggle with how to mix in humor and positive beat so it would not all be doom and gloom. Great to have you on board Uros!

I'm really looking forward to see what this service offers me โ€“ the process of signing up and sharing my interests was really easy.

Pros:

Smooth process for the user, wide perspective for climate change prevention as a phenomenon

Cons:

Results still pending

Ville Vesterinen
Thank you for the review Elina! Very happy to hear you liked the process and breath of the opportunities we aim to cover. We are equally keen to see results and make this useful for everyone.
