Please Collaborate With Zerobase! about contact-tracer

[baradhili]

Thanks Aron... does your system provide identifiable information on a trace, or is it primarily concerned about tracing spread of covid anonymously? If its anonymous then you should reach out to covid-watch and CoEpi who are doing similar things

[aronszanto]

Very cool, thanks for the tip. We are building tracing networks out of real human checkins that are anonymous. Crucially, we're not asking people to download an application, which solves the single greatest hurdle in technological contact tracing systems in liberal societies- the network effect of application adoption. Because we're install-free, we can onboard the billions of people in the world who have a smartphone in 2 seconds just by asking them to open their camera app.

Check out our onboarding repo or https://zerobase.io for more! And feel free to drop us a line at [email protected] to chat.

yup - you don't need to sell to us.. please :)

Just making some good friends and preaching to the choir :) Let's keep in touch.

Thanks, we are going and focus on release and then we can see what we do from there :)

[aronszanto]

@cmorillo could I ask that you please consider reopening this for visibility? I find that people who read about these opportunities for collaboration are able to design even better technology when they think about how we may want to share data across several platforms in the long run.

Of course you and the team are currently focused on releasing your awesome app- just hoping that people see this, read about what we're doing, and are able to think ahead about how to use us as a force multiplier to make your tech even more awesome. Thank you!!

@aronszanto The trouble is.. we are getting lots of people asking, but very few actually willing to contribute.. so we end up spending cycles in discussion where nothing occurs..

Normally, if people want to help on Github etc.. they fork the repo, do development and create a pull request..

Right now we are in a bit of a holding pattern.. seeing what is going to happen from Singapore's sharing of their code with governments...
