Inspiration
Working on a resource mapping toolkit one of our mentors showed us a relevant video of Destin @SmarterEveryDay, then at the end of the video, I ordered the fightingcovid.today domain then published the call to action on it.
What it does
- Supporting communities to have their easy-to-use webpage under a
fightingcovid.todaysubdomain. - Providing tools and strategies for collaboration and the emergence of communities.
- Listing
#FightingCOVIDsolutions, resources, and other databases.
How I built it
The current page was created with Godaddy's free webpage creator but needed to rebuild in a more adaptive way with simple HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, .json technology with some kind of NoSQL database.
Challenges I ran into
I am too slow with coding today and hard to find good programmers who are available for agile development.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
It was a great feeling to find the perfect available domain for it and setting up a quick MVP under. Many people were giving positive feedback about the idea.
What I learned
Today it's hard to find agile developers and more effort is needed to spread the word.
What's next for Fighting COVID Today
The next step is to
- replicate the current site on a
node.jscompatible hosting to be able to start the development and - bring more people to the team,
- make connections with similar projects and
- find incentives for the community to build spread the world and build a bigger database.
