you've listed some skills that you can bring to bear to a problem, but what are example problems you're trying to solve? i'd think that with most small businesses closed, they'd be hard to help right now for instance.

it'd probably help to list some of the kinds of projects you imagine so that folks who need help/want to give help can decide to do so (or not).

for instance, could you use product, project, or general management help? legal skills? do you want to work with government agencies? medical ones? non-profits? how about tenant's rights organizations? etc.

I think this is great. As you wrote, you have the luxury of comfort in the midst of all this and are offering what skills you have to those who might need them. My tiny non-profit is applying! Thanks for doing this, it's lovely.

Hi! Sorry, OP here who loves text-only sites! A couple of us designers wanted to find a way to help LA, the city we love. If anyone needs some help or wants to help, please click! AMA

This is awesome! Just submitted to give a hand. Thanks for connecting us all together!

Howdy there! We are a group of Digital Marketing professionals that are donating their time and skills to help Small Businesses affected by Covid-19.

Looks like We've started something similar to help out communities in LA, and Melbourne. If you're interested in joining forces get in touch :)

This is cool, I guess. If I had an Al Pastor truck, I would submit and expect nothing and appreciate something. But it seems super nebulous. It feels very "We could be the next 72andSunny". Could you follow this up with a Show HN revealing what you eventually accomplished?

Wish I could give a hand, but I don’t live in LA and my most valuable skill is writing software which doesn’t really help much during a pandemic I guess.

Note that on mobile chrome I see the numbers for "Here’s how it works" offset in a wonky way.

So good - submitted mine :)

Really cool that you all are doing this. This will immensely help bootstrapped startups.

This is so very cool. Great job stepping up like this to the whole team!

Great, thanks for doing this!

Love the simple, straightforward design.

so it's only LA right?

Hurts my eyes. You should make copy smaller and use better margins.

Seems exploitative - Angelinos aren't hurting for work right now, they're hurting for a paycheck. I'd like to see some kind of compensation model.
