Hi there Product Hunt! I'm the Executive Director of Solace. After eight months of hard work, we're so excited to finally release Solace to the general public. We got our start at HackOut (https://www.swhackout.org) and it's been a really unique experience to build tech as a nonprofit. Happy to answer any questions as time permits!
Seems like a nice app and as far as I know, there's never been anything like it. It could certainly be useful to a lot of people.
Sadly, it doesn't appear to be available outside the US :/ I understand the app offers instructions on how to make legal changes depending on the person's state, but you could just omit that in the international version...
It's a shame to region lock such an app :)
@anna_0x I hear you, although the reason it's region locked is a bit more complicated. The information, especially the legal and medical goals are very specific to the US. We wanted to make the information relevant and credible, which required a certain level of specificity that wouldn't translate to other regions of the world. Even the lifestyle goals are specific to the US.
We're currently working on Solace MX (a version for Mexico) and will be working to expand the app to other countries as quickly as resources permit. Do you mind sharing which country you'd like to see Solace in?
@anna_0x@robbi_katherine_anthony
I believe you’d have no problems connecting with supporting people and organisations of all countries to sort out its respective differences and requirements.
I have a good friend who works within the LGBTQ community down here and would be happy to make a connection (in New Zealand).
What an incredible project. Good on you Robbi.
This is exactly what we need for our friends, family and acquaintances.
I can’t applaud your momentous effort enough. Great work!
It will be even more invaluable if it makes it outside of merely the US.
