WCID Update: There's no place like home.
Or the other side of the world. It's up to you.


Hi! It’s Quinn.
I’m extremely excited to launch a huge upgrade to our What Can I Do? Recommendations engine — location.
Until yesterday, Members could save their favorite search parameters, like:
Verbs (how you like to show up)
Nouns (what you give a shit about)
Co-benefits (desired outcomes), and
Skills (skills)
…and have those factored in to their personalized Recommendations.
Starting today, when you save your location (any location!) to your profile, the Recommendations engine will factor that in, too.
Pro-tip: The more specific your address, the more specific and heavily we’ll weight location into your Recommendations. City > state/province > country (and other users will only ever see your city and state).
Does that mean we’ve got actions in every city? Or even state?
Not yet!
WCID, of course, only includes the best-of-the-best. Every single action is hand-reviewed by our team — a very, very small team — and we reject most of them (and toss whatever isn’t relevant anymore, too).
(It’s harsh, but somebody’s gotta do it)
We’re growing every day, and now feature actions in hundreds of cities, states, and provinces, and more than 106 (!) countries across the globe.
Expect to see many, many more cities — and countries — over the course of the year.
Get started today.
Want Recommendations close to home? Save your home address.
Want Recommendations for somewhere as far away as possible? Drop any city or country into your profile, and we’ll factor that in, instead.
(👀 coming soon: multiple locations, and so much more)
Never forget: WCID search will be free, forever, anywhere in the world, day or night, 24/7.
And you can always add a location to your search (Want to donate in Mozambique? Here you go.)
But if you want to get personalized Recommendations, to save a To Do list and your Action History, and to share your efforts to unfuck the world with thousands of other Members, we’re here, and we’re ready to help.
And right now, you can try it free for 30 days.

That’s it for today. But there’s much more to come.
Thanks so much for chipping in a few bucks to support our team and our work.
And of course, thank you — as always — for giving a shit.
— Quinn
