Heads up for any FOSS contributors and coders!

Or anyone that knows how to code web apps and wants to contribute to solarpunk activities, bringing about post-scarcity food security, or just helping feed people:

Rootable is a Free and Open Source app that helps local towns coordinate food rescue.

Website: https://rootable.org

Code Base: https://codeberg.org/rootable/

Food rescue is where local community groups go to a grocery store, bakery, restaurant, etc., and "glean" or gather up any GOOD FOOD that would otherwise be thrown away and get to it people who are hungry.

Reduces food waste.
Increased food security.

For more info on food waste, take a look at this John Oliver episode on Food Waste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8xwLWb0lLY

If you'd like to contribute code, fix bugs (usability, security, etc), assist in technical documentation or support, etc., please visit the git repo and pitch in.

If anyone needs contact info for the project lead, DM me.

This is an actively used app and helping with it directly helps feed people. This is a great way to build mutual aid projects.

'An analysis from the University of Copenhagen shows that it is often more profitable to donate surplus food than to throw it away. In many cases, doing so leads to a direct financial gain.'

Please don't be or raise sub-humans who leave perishable food or your garbage in random places in the grocery store.
I saw 2 raw steaks wrapped in styrofoam sitting on the shelf in the canned aisle in Metro today, & it's so disheartening. Such laziness!!! At least put it in another refrigerated area so it doesn't go bad!!! Or give it to the cashier & tell them you changed your mind so staff will put it back. Whenever I change my mind on something I pick up, I always put it back to where I got it. If you don't do this, "because it's too much effort/takes too much time" you're actually scum & not worthy of existence.
Trashy f-wits who do this deserve ALL the bad karma.
