A developer built hoki.help, a donation platform for HoKi NÖ, a children's hospice in Lower Austria, in just eight hours. The site provides a free service for families with seriously ill children, covering diagnosis through bereavement support. The project aimed for a fast, secure launch using modern tools.

The tech stack included Next.js 14, Tailwind CSS, and Stripe Checkout for payments. Key decisions prioritized security and simplicity, like using Stripe to avoid PCI compliance overhead and Neon for serverless EU-based data storage. The site features one-time and recurring donations, an anonymous option, and a progress bar, all with GDPR compliance.

By avoiding user accounts and custom forms, the site offers a frictionless donation experience. The developer covers all hosting costs, ensuring 100% of donations reach the charity. This approach demonstrates how modern frameworks can rapidly deploy secure, purpose-driven tools for social good, a growing trend in tech-enabled philanthropy.
