What CS / IT skills, apps, tech, etc would be most beneficial for the leftist movement?

posted 2 years ago

I’m a CS student, I have some time before I graduate and have kind of dipped my toes in various things without specializing in anything. I would like to know what would be useful for the movement, so that I can use my skills to contribute.

And before people say “everything is useful”…well yeah but it’s nice and fulfilling to have specific ideas I can work on learning/building myself.

Also where can I find leftist open source projects? I know lemmy and this website for one are open source but not sure of others.
