I need help making a site and apps that match hungry people with people who want to help them. Directly. There needs to be security and verification for PII safety. But for the most part, a hungry person can sign up with verified contact info, and put up a basic help wanted ad (repeatable). Ads disappear at end of day. The ad should disappear when a helpful person chooses the ad to fulfill. A helpful person can sign up with verified contact info, look for hungry person ads, filter by zip code, and choose ads to fulfill. Display ads on a map. Click on map ad to open a detailed listing. The actual fulfillment, getting food to the hungry, is completely up to helpful person to figure out. That’s it.

This sounds interesting to me. A couple simplifications to make this more manageable might be to use Google’s authentication API (you end up with a little button that says “sign up with Google”) which means you don’t have to worry about the security of people’s private information. Also in terms of getting a viable product out there it might be better to the website easy to use on mobile instead of developing an Android app AND an iOS app.

Thanks for replying! Both of those simplifications sound great. Would you be open to working on it? Please contact me directly, if you are.

I’d be interested but I am worried about having enough time available to dedicate to the project. Where should I contact you for some follow-up questions?

We should chat. I don’t know how this platform works, but I think you can “submit a bid”. It can be zero and hopefully we can get into a DM situation?

Hi I’m Mike. I saw someone post this on Facebook. See attached. And I thought, we can do better than that. We can build a site and apps that match people to help each other. I am not a legit non-profit. I just had the idea like 10 minutes ago. But this shouldn’t be hard with a smart dev or 2. I can pay for domains and hosting and the other administrative stuff. I intend to make no money for this. I’m hoping for kind people to help and share. Thanks.
