Then people don’t show their points card. And I think there is a big privacy concern here. I doubt those card providers know exactly what the customer has bought but rather know just the final price.

The most coordinated effort I have seen so far is: https://app.jogl.io/project/121 called ‘Helpful Engineering’.

I’m working on a new project called Paths, it’s still in beta.

But a couple of my team members put this together earlier this week. Basically we are using a subset of our Paths data to show new jobs related to COVID-19. The majority of these are in healthcare and research, but there are a few office and sanitation ones too.

Essentially, it is a dashboard with some neat visuals and tools to help you see what/where the most opportunities are available, trends, etc.
