Watch Duty has absolutely saved lives in the last few days here in Los Angeles. if you have the means, they’re nonprofit and you can donate to support their work here: app.watchduty.org/donate
We’ve been watching the Watch Duty team do absolutely *unbelievable* technical work all week (they’re members of our Fast Forward open source program), handling a surge of millions of people trying to see where the fires are in real time. There are still people who do such good on the internet.
