We vs Virus Hackathon: Giev likez plz!

This weekend I'm participating in the "We vs Virus" hackathon by the German government.

WE NEED YOUR LIKES

It's probably the biggest hackathon in Germany ever, with

over 40000 participants!

Anyway, my team and I are planning, designing, and implementing an app that helps people to do what many devs love:

STAY AT HOME!

So I figured, you may want to support us? :D

The app is called "CareAnTiny" and you would care, Tamagotchi like, for a plant that grows when you are at home. It also features ideas of things you can to do at home and a leaderboard that should motivate by seeing that others stay at home too!

If we win, we get resources to turn this thing further than a prototype!

So, anyway, would be cool if you like and share :)

I too have been participating in this, this weekend. Not going to plug your post here for our own marketing. 😁

Quite impressive that 'twas planned in a week and we got over 40,000 participants. I hope they'll do that some time again.

Nice!

There's a similar app called Forest, though its focus is on helping people be more productive.
