Crowdblue

The social network for political action

Crowdblue (formerly Crowdpac) is where Democrats organize, fundraise, and win. Our team led product design and engineering for the web platform and native mobile apps, reimagining a payments-first product into a full social network built for campaigns, community, and civic participation.

The solution

From payments platform to political social network

One place to discover campaigns, read news, take action on the issues you care about, and support candidates - without jumping between disconnected tools.

Web platform

Campaign discovery, news, community feeds, and signup flows designed for organizers and voters at scale.

Strategy, messaging, and fundraising advice on demand

Our approach

Design and engineering end to end

Imajine owned UX/UI design and full-stack development across web and mobile. We rebuilt core flows around community and content, not just checkout, so users could follow campaigns, join discussions, and act on news in the same session they donate.

Under the hood, Stripe Connect still powers compliant campaign contributions, now embedded inside a social product that feels like a modern network rather than a standalone fundraising widget.

Technology

React Native and React on the front, Node.js and MongoDB on the back, with Stripe Connect for compliant political payments.

Why this stack

React Native let us ship consistent social and fundraising flows on iOS and Android from one codebase. React powered a responsive web experience for organizers managing campaigns at a desk. Node.js and MongoDB handled high-volume feeds, profiles, and engagement data, while Stripe Connect routed compliant contributions to the right campaigns.

The impact

Crowdblue grew into a destination where millions of users engage with campaigns - not just a checkout flow. News, community, civic tools, fundraising, and AI-assisted campaign coaching live in one product on web and mobile.
