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…

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.

What are you hoping to see with a compensation model? The people behind this are generously volunteering their time to help others in these troubling times. Is doing good for the sake of doing good really that unbelievable, especially in a time of crisis?

Yeah, an earlier draft had something like that but it's so hard to capture all the kinds of projects people need. After more people sign up we will have data informing us what overarching problems people are seeking, and we can feed it back.

sounds good, hope it turns into some productive assets for local/small businesses and agencies, as those tend to need the most help from such skills. how do you think people will find the site (other than from here)?

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?

Sorry, I just have to clarify. I am or was a Digital Media Director. So I'm always distrustful of "creative" portfolio stuffers. But this sounds like you have the purest of intentions. And it is very kind of you to donate strategy. But do update us!

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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
