Hi everyone! My friend and I recently launched **RescueHacks** , a free online hackathon, and I thought the Glide community might be interested. The idea is simple: **build something that could save a life.** Maybe it’s an app that helps people during an emergency, keeps medical information organized, helps communities coordinate after a disaster, improves accessibility, or even prevents dangerous situations before they happen. If your project could make someone’s next few minutes a little safer, it fits the challenge. One of the reasons I wanted to share it here is because Glide is such a great tool for building useful apps quickly. A RescueHack doesn’t have to be a huge AI project or a fully polished product. Even a simple Glide app that solves a real problem can have a meaningful impact. The hackathon is completely online and beginner friendly, so no code and low code projects are welcome. **📅 August 22–29, 2026** Devpost: [https://rescue-hacks-30680.devpost.com/](https://rescue-hacks-30680.devpost.com/) Discord: [Rescue Hacks 2026](https://discord.gg/ZN8x87cAn) If this sounds interesting, we’d love to have some Glide builders join. I think this community could come up with some really creative ideas. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them! ---

Best of luck with RescueHacks! I love projects that solve real, meaningful problems. Just to give you a quick example of how Glide can be utilized for this, I actually integrated a built-in “Emergency Assistant” module into my travel guide app for Thailand (Goo Thailand). The core idea is to give tourists a quick, reliable safety net if they run into any trouble during their trip. Within the app, users can: - Directly call the Tourist Police or an Ambulance with a single tap. - Instantly view their precise map location and GPS coordinates. - Generate a pre-written emergency assistance message (which includes their exact Google Maps location link) to quickly copy or send via SMS/social apps. I won’t be able to participate but I love the concept. I wish you the best with the event. ![IMG_9245](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/b/fb9f8055da9cf3ef9f36226d9f71b67156454ded.png) ![IMG_9246.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/c/cc1e8ee2c6f724d2730e48cde3943411f9b07bbe.jpeg) ![IMG_9247.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/9/399abbbdb036f84499a80ddeaf8c6dbcad3d7225.jpeg) ---
