Be My Eyes - Lend your eyes to the blind

This is absolutely fantastic, and something that actually deserves funding and attention.

Love how the simplest ideas are always the best. This really is amazing - downloaded and will spread the word as much as possible.

Beautiful project and excellent implementation @flarup / it reminds me of http://www.eyewriter.org/, both expression of a human-centered technology that fosters social innovation. Question: will the app be available in more languages?

I had a good friend in college that was blind and I got used to helping him around campus or with issues he couldn't navigate himself. I know this is going to be extremely useful to him and others. Well done.

As a business model idea to fund the project, have you considered partnering with various foundations for the blind to offer private/local help rather than just crowdsourced help? I can imagine - particularly for older people - the idea of getting a complete stranger might be a little overwhelming. It might save some foundations money that they would have to have otherwise spent travelling to visit/help people in person, if they could help them via something like this? That and it may be able to help them support a lot more people on limited budgets!

@flarup Very very cool idea and great story of the origination of the app idea! You guys are sort of a crowdsourced Amelie: ;)

Well done - lovely project!

This is one of the most incredible ideas I've ever met!

@flarup WOW! Beautiful.

This is a fantastic idea. Brilliant. One of those things where you think "Why didn't I think of that?!?!" @farup Are a lot of people using this?
