Ideas

What will we build

We are looking for ideas that can help citizens or businesses fare better during lockdown or quarantines. Ideas specific to local communities that can be implemented with the least amount of overheads but can create immediate impact.

What we won't consider

Ideas that has limited impact on the community will not be considered.
Ideas must be legally allowed by the laws of the country/state.
Ideas must be ethical.
Ideas shouldn't be based on unfounded claims.

How are ideas chosen

While we would like to consider all ideas based on their merits, but we have limited resources. A lot of the ideas that we decide to work on will depend on our teams' limitations. Having said that, we will carefully review as many idea as we can.

By submitting your idea, you are agreeing to us contacting you to discuss the idea if the need arises.
