Hi everyone Aaron from Product Hunt here. With the proliferation of work from home mandates over the past few weeks, we thought it would be a great time to host a global, WFH festival that focuses on relief efforts (in any form) for the COVID-19 pandemic. We've seen a bunch of great products build to help with the crisis, now we want to see what you can build. It can be anything from products around self-care, at-home entertainment, ways to combat the spread of misinformation or products for healthcare workers on the frontlines The discussions are your space to get support, collab with other makers or simply just strike up a conversation. We can't wait to see what you build. Registrations are now open here until the 2nd of April

Hi Product Hunters, I'm excited about this Makers Festival because it coincides with a project we are just kicking off to help us all adjust to the post-COVID world, so I'm entering it as a project! My non-profit (https://leapforward.us) is building a global tool to visualize all the needs of individuals, families, communities, states and cities arising from COVID and the massive shift in life and work that it brings. We are open-sourcing the software and crowd-sourcing the data, and targeting needs ranging from basic/physical to emotional, mental health, intellectual, social, etc... The goal is to bring attention to the gaps and overlaps in the many many solutions that have been popping up (tons of online yoga classes, but no emotional support for families for example) and inspire us to work together to help each other. There's no profit model; this is 100% service-focused. Our Stack is React.js with lightweight Ruby API backend. Prototyping with Airtable for data collection. We're working on launching our first (very quick and dirty) MVP next week, then collaborating with others to link in existing databases, better visualizations, locale-based search and crowdsourced data capture. Let me know if you want to help or know someone who would be interested! Thanks!

Hey all, excited to take part in Makers Festival! I'm looking to build a web app in the "have fun with friends remotely" space. Times are tough and everyone needs a way to feel connected and find a little happiness. Anyone interested in teaming up? A bit about me: I've been building web apps for the past 12 years, everything from social networks with millions of users to crowdfunding platforms to developer tools. My current startup is https://divjoy.com, which helps developers spin up a custom React codebase and UI super quickly. We can probably take advantage of it for this project. Feel free to comment if interested, throw out any ideas you have, or DM me at https://twitter.com/gabe_ragland
