Ask HN: How can I help others?
Hey,
I want to help others to achieve their goals. It can be a startup, a lonely developer, a young kid who just started playing around with various technologies..it doesn't matter. The only condition is that these goals must be something that add real value to our lives (so not fart apps).
Because I'm not a rich person and I cannot jump in and invest, I'm looking for other ways to help. For example I was thinking on building a hosting server based on multiple raspberry pi platforms or offering a room in my house for free. Or buying and renting books, online courses or even computers.
I'm not interesting in any benefits, I just love science and technology and I want to help the community.
So dear HN, do you have any ideas? What would you do? Or what would you need? What about helping FSF [0] or EFF [1]? [0] https://www.fsf.org/resources/jobs; https://www.fsf.org/volunteer That was my first intention but I want to do something were I'm involved more rather than just a name written somewhere. Not sure what you mean by that, but these organizations to my mind are really helping the world. Each member of them. Hey, I know you said no fart apps, but do you know how to build one? If yes I have a little idea (a small weekend project) we can work on together. There might not be any money in it but I'm sure it will be fun. I have a basic knowledge of iOS development using Swift so let me know.
