Show HN: Engineering group to help medical staff against Covid-19 https://ift.tt/2TTnYyV

Show HN: Engineering group to help medical staff against Covid-19 We've created an engineering group to help in the event of a severe COVID-19 crisis. Right now we have engineers, PhDs, and the owner of a manufacturing company, with a supply chain and offices in New York, Florida, and Taiwan. The idea behind the group is that a COVID-19 outbreak might be something our medical system hasn't seen before. There may be shortages or special needs of medical equipment and other resources. We think we can help by building certain devices. We probably can't build ICUs, but we could provide real help to a burdened medical front-line in a crisis. We're doing this in a deliberate and pragmatic way, informed by medical opinion. Right now, we're looking for more help—anyone with project management, engineering as well as non-technical experience. We're especially looking for doctors, particularly those with emergency room, triage experience, or who have (are) dealing with the current outbreak. If you're interested, please get in touch.

Simmer aggregates dishes from DoorDash, Caviar, GrubHub, and basically every other delivery platform out there, and tells users the best dishes across the board. We do this by providing dish-level reviews. Users find highly reviewed dishes on Simmer, choose the delivery platform of their liking, and we deep link them into their chosen delivery app. We essentially lead gen to delivery. We started working on Simmer because we loved trying new restaurants, but never knew what to order. Especially, when there’s a 5 page menu. We always asked ourselves, “Why aren’t there ratings for individual dishes?” We launched our app with this restaurant-centric use case (reviews for every dish at every restaurant), but when we rolled out delivery integrations, we realized that users resonated most with the delivery angle. They found it particularly ...
