My software company shut down for a week to build a free curbside check-in service.

Showcase

We realized that while some of the larger businesses have been able to build contact-less check-in apps for their parking lots.... most small businesses can't afford it and have had to do things like hire people to stand in their lots or send people out to cars. Some of our clients are having to buy temporary cell phones to try and send text messages. So we built a simple site to make signs, let people check-in and let the business send them messages and updates. https://www.curbq.io (It will display the checkin page if you load it from mobile and the management site from a desktop) We got this idea, stopped working on everything else in our company and our team put in a very hard memorial day weekend. Right now it only works in the US because we need help with localization and translation. If any native speakers of other languages can help us with translations and localization let us know. Otherwise, we just need help telling people about this, because they can't use it if they don't know about it. The site is 100% free and my msp is covering the hosting costs. We are still adding features every hour but we wanted to go ahead and get it out there as quickly as possible so people could start using it. So please like/upvote/share with any small businesses you know that might need it or on social media. If you have any ideas for things we can add we would love to hear those too. Anyway, I posted this on /coronavirus and they removed it as spam, even though we don't sell anything or retain any information and told them we'd give them the source code /shrug. Maybe it will get more support here, I would love for our team to see some benefit from their hard work.
