πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Implement an emergency access feature that unlocks a limited set of crisis-management content for free for a short duration.
  2. Create a sliding-scale subscription model based on user-reported income levels.
  3. Develop a community-sponsored 'pay-it-forward' program where users can donate subscriptions to those in financial need.
