The first month of war is behind us and already three million people had to flee their homes. Thousands of people and animals died. Hospitals, airports, schools were destroyed. I think initial response to this humanitarian crisis has been absolutely great - a true win of humanity. However, I'm worried that when the first wave of emotion subside people will kind of move on and forget. I ve been thinking a lot about building something sustainable, something that will continue to fund humanitarian aid for the weeks and months to come. And I think we can come together as a community of makers to do so. Let s imagine we have a service, where for a monthly donation to the cause, the donor gets a bunch of apps, SaaS services, etc. That way we can provide ongoing support for the people in need and keep providing value for the donors. I have already started with a simpler version - a simple fundraiser with one-time payment and we got 10+ apps on board, including UNUM, Bear, plus apps created by teams in both Ukraine and Russia. I think there is a lot of potential to do good here. I m curious what you think and if you would like to join?
