Phone a friend is a react/firebase app for connecting people in isolation (or otherwise) that would like to have a chat with someone who is avialable to chat with them. It is 100% open source GPLv3. Being actively used by http://coronaunity.org and https://phoneafriend.care possibly amongst others.
This project was lauunched as part of the MutualAid.World "#CommunityTech" initiative which is focused on building small solutions such as this (and our 'traveling salesperson solver') that are aimed to help people in COVID 19 response groups with technology solutions as rapidly as possible.
This is to be contrasted with our #resilience-app and #safetraceapi initiatives which have a bit more longer time frames.
- Be helpful, on the ground, for real world organisers fast
- Iterate fast, commit good code and build solutions that work
- Listen to the community groups and through rapid iteration and development learn a lot about their real on the ground needs right freaking now
