Could we create a technology solution that aids people affected by this conflict in a way that helps both short and long term problems?
Fraud seems like an obvious issue. But when people post here, I can read their profile and see their GitHub contributions and know they are in my community. So I feel like we could help people in a way that limits fraud.
I'm feeling very helpless about this war. I'll happily contribute $500 directly to people if they need short term income or whatever, so please point me to those who need help right now and I'll do it. It's not a lot (I'm in a startup and don't have consistent income right now) but this world seems so crazy right now and I want to take some action to help.
