Hurricane Harvey Web Entrepreneur Lesson--Sometimes You Need To Push Past Negativity And Just Do Stuff entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

Hi Guys--I wanted to share for an example for why it's important to push past the negativity on reddit sometimes and just do things.

I posted this two days ago to try and get testing for a web app I started writing frenetically three days ago to help the information problem of connecting civilian rescuers and geolocation information of those needing rescue. Look at the negativity we received.

Our app did not end up succeeding, but a very similar hastily put together web app http://ift.tt/2wS3kpW on the other hand did succeed, and thank goodness they did--because they saved 7500 lives.

Here is their story: We created houstonharveyrescue.com in under 3 hours, in a leaky office, with intermittent power, a 2 GB server and had absolutely no idea it would lead to over 7,600 active rescues in thanks to over 8,000 brave rescuers, dispatchers, and volunteers. Thank you to everyone in involved in this process: our rescuers, our dispatchers, our volunteers, the Cajun Navy, the Yeehaw Navy, the Texas Navy, and the countless people driving hundreds of miles across the country to come aid in rescue efforts.

Please take this as a lesson for all of you entrepreneurs out there, especially in times of crisis--don't let the negativity of a few commenters stop you from getting out there and making a difference.
