I want to kick start a KickSorter

Hey Guys! I'm Bryce and I love crowdfunding, I think it's really cool and love looking at the projects, I like backing where I can ( usually only a couple bucks, but I figure if 100 million people gave a buck here and there we could fund lots of great ideas ) But here is my dilema. I can't look through the projects well.

The heart of my ideology is this , I want to look at EVERY campaign ( I mean it, Every topic and catagory ) but I only want to look at each one ONCE. That is what I want to do. but with the current system and the way I use the sight it feels like I only look at a small % of the campaigns but I see the same ones over and over.

So I couldn't find a KickStarter API and as such I don't know of any 3rd party apps that help with this, but I'm wondering if there's a solution to this. My ideal would be this:

Some sort of "tinder" type sorting where I look at the campaign and sort into "interested" and "not interested" I can go in and fund all the ones I'm interested in and monitor their progress during funding in case I want to increase funding to help them.

I don't know if this exists or could even exists. any tips on how to look at more campaigns and manage seeing not the same ones over and over would be really appreciated! Thanks in Advance!

Good concept. Would it just scrape existing Kickstarters?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Where would you get the Kickstarter project data from for your KickSorter since there is no API to grab the data from?

You would have to scrape the data like Kicktraq or Crowdfundfusion.
