For those who don't know, it's an app for blind people to make video calls for help with visual tasks. I've had it downloaded for a while, but there's a 10:1 ratio of volunteers to blind users (which is a good thing!), so I've never managed to be the first person to respond.

Well the other night when I swiped to answer a call, I was the first one and got to assist a guy with matching pants and tops while packing an outfit for his little girl. Was a quick call but felt good to be able to help, and I'd encourage others to sign up as well!

Ooo no, I don't think I could help with matching outfits.
Glad you were able to.

Hah, it was literally just identifying which colors/patterns they were, no fashion advice.

The 10:1 ratio of volunteers to users makes me feel good about the good people are capable of :D
