I love the concept behind Be My Eyes and have answered a few calls as a sighted person.
I've always wanted to apply this short, synchronous (or not), crowd sourced community support to other areas of need.
What are other problems that could be addressed with widespread community support via smartphones or computers that require minimal commitment from the helper like Be My Eyes?
Beta readers/listeners. Sometimes I just want to have someone take a look or listen at something I made to see if my familiarity with it obscures a glaring flaw. Getting people who say they want to to actually follow through is often a blocking struggle.
This makes total sense. I've experienced the need for an impartial and non-invested yet thoughtful/knowledgable eye too. I was thinking more non-profit/greater good focused, but I like this and thank you for sharing!
