shameless plug...we made something very similar... covidneeds.com ... just a bunch of volunteers ..we've put this up over a weekend trying to help... very basic.. sorry, if I shouldn't be posting about it here...

Maybe it could also let you specify "old person hours" at your nearby stores? And does it let you specify a thing you're looking for? (like 151 proof alcohol)

I think the best way to get this off the ground is to pick 1 community and really push it there, to try out how useful it can be. Then use that one as an example.

You also need to think about what you'd lose if you were to work for a big company. I do not know your current company, so maybe there is nothing to lose.

I just recently quit a Big 8 co and moved to a smaller co (was working remote for a few yrs, wanted to do something local); its just different styles of working; the quality of work isnt much different between each other.

I was kind of hoping she won an award or something, she radiates so much positivity and is an awesome hacker.

My condolences to you. The kids are one way a Godsend and hopefully they'll help you to live through it somehow. Very sorry :(.
