Built for Non-Profits, by Non-Profits

Memml was created out of necessity by someone who lives and breathes community fundraising.

Meet the Creator

Hi, I'm Jason Byrne. I'm the President of the Longwood Historic Society and have been the race director for local 5Ks for many years. I lead numerous public-facing events and fundraisers throughout the year, and I know firsthand the challenges that non-profit organizations face when managing complex fundraising projects.

For years, I was doing a lot of heavy lifting in spreadsheets - tracking sponsors, managing budgets, coordinating volunteers, and trying to keep everything organized across multiple projects. I looked for better tools but found only expensive, overly complex CRM systems that were difficult to configure and didn't fit the specific needs of community organizations.

So I decided to build exactly what I needed - a simple, powerful platform designed specifically for non-profit fundraising. If others find it useful, that's great! But first and foremost, Memml was built to solve real problems that I face every day in my work with the Longwood Historic Society and other community projects.

For Fellow Developers

Curious about the technology behind Memml? Here's what I used to build this platform:

Frontend

  • SvelteKit - Full-stack web framework
  • TypeScript - Type-safe JavaScript
  • SCSS - Advanced CSS with variables and mixins
  • Tailwind CSS - Utility-first CSS framework

Backend & Database

  • Drizzle ORM - Type-safe database queries
  • SQLite - Lightweight, file-based database
  • Lucia Auth - Authentication library
  • Node.js - Server-side JavaScript runtime

Development & Deployment

  • Vite - Fast build tool and dev server
  • Playwright - End-to-end testing
  • Netlify - Hosting and deployment

Why this stack? I chose technologies that prioritize developer experience, type safety, and simplicity. SvelteKit provides an excellent full-stack experience, while Drizzle ORM makes database operations both safe and enjoyable. The entire stack is modern, well-documented, and has a vibrant community.
