Support Local Akron

Background

Sitting at home during the COVID-19 pandemic my wife Kirsten and I were trying to figure out how we could best support our city's local artists, musicians, and businesses. It occured to us that we weren't going to be able to answer that question ourselves, so we built this as a way to allow them to tell us, on their terms, how we can support them during this unconventional time.

If you think this will help your city then please clone, fork, download, or copy+paste this codebase into your own repository and start your own #SupportLocal application. No permission required. We're all in this together.

Known Issues

You would be amazing if you submitted a PR to fix any of these!

Things That Aren't Issues But Annoy Me

Supporting Services/Technologies

• CI/CD and hosting through Vercel
• Data is stored with Vercel Postgres and accessed with Prisma
  • Vercel Blob for image storage
