Show HN: JapanConnect iPhone app

3 points by andymoe ↗ HN
I'm the co-founder of FilmFest (filmfest.me) and we had just done an app for the San Francisco International Asian Asian American Film Festival (http://caamedia.org).

The Festival was in full swing when the quake hit. We've responded in one of the only ways we could - by building an app. (http://goo.gl/IKbQj)

Right now it's very simple and the content comes from our WordPress site with links to news sources and stories as well as to googles people finder database and other ways to get involved.

I'd love to hear what people are reading and get connected with people who have something to contribute or have ideas on how we can help from here in San Francisco.

Humbly yours,

- Andy

Very cool. Glad to see other developers creating an easy way for people to stay connected, provide aid, and keep information about the cleanup and humanitarian efforts in one place.

Great work! We were also busy to come up with something last week. http://tsunami-homes.woisy.com wants to crowdsource private resources for aiding people affected by the tsunami.
