Hakuna · Public Platform
Hakuna.org
The public website of a global movement: WordPress with its own donations engine, Salesforce integration — and a small retro game hiding in the footer.
The platform
A website with a lot going on underneath.
Hakuna.org is where people discover activities near them, sign up, donate, read daily content and buy from the shop. Almost everything custom lives in one in-house plugin — 75 modules covering donations, maps, search, onboarding, games and Salesforce sync.
- 2026 redesign: dark hero, custom typography and an urgent-notices system for emergencies.
- “Cerca de mí” activity discovery on maps, custom site search with its own analytics.
- Registration and onboarding flows writing straight into Salesforce.
- Bilingual ES/EN across content, templates and donation flows.
Donations engine
Compartiriados: from card to CRM in one flow.
A product-grade donations landing where every solidarity project shows its goal and live progress. Pick an amount, donate, and the whole thing happens end to end: WordPress reads the project catalog from Salesforce, creates the donation record, Salesforce triggers the payment link and the browser redirects to pay — in seconds.
- Project catalog served by a Salesforce REST endpoint; edited visually from the org.
- Goal bars turn from amber to green as each project reaches 100% — surplus flows to the rest.
- Full-page payment takeover flow, bilingual, with fiscal certificate handling.
- Same pattern powers the Espacio Ágora campaign donations.
Juego secreto
Pringao Run: tap the footer logo 7 times.
Hidden in every page of hakuna.org there is a full endless-runner written from scratch in vanilla canvas JavaScript — 5,200 lines of physics, sprites and inside jokes. You are a “pringao” running through 18 real Hakuna places, from the Txoco to the Vatican.
- 18 themed worlds with their own palettes, props and characters from Hakuna lore.
- Online leaderboard with serious anti-cheat: HMAC-signed tokens, session heartbeats, per-device rate limiting and score ceilings.
- Game-over screens written like a sitcom — every obstacle has its own story.
- Zero libraries, zero build step: it loads with the page and triggers on 7 taps.
Scale
One plugin, seventy-five modules.
System
What I focused on
Product thinking on WordPress
Standalone landing templates, a reusable “Hakuna landing” design system and full-page flows that don’t look or feel like a theme.
Salesforce as the backbone
OAuth-secured REST both ways: the web reads catalogs from the org and writes donations, registrations and contacts back into it.
Room for play
A leaderboard with anti-cheat, a typographic dictionary and a hidden runner game — small things that make the site warmer.
Security & performance
Login rate-limiting, XML-RPC lockdown, hidden login, lazy maps and analytics-instrumented search keeping a big site fast and safe.
