"we are just handing over all our data to you?" that is in fact the requirement as outlined by the State of Washington Governor's office (Jay Inslee), document here:https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/COVID19Phase2PersonalServicesGuidance.pdf https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/COVID19Phase... - we made no assumptions about "what org is responsible for handling this data" and instead designed a "data roach motel". It does remain to be seen who would access the data in the event that the state of washington needed to "contact a bunch of restaurant patrons informing them of exposure". This app does not attempt to solve for that, in fact.
"but couldn’t be bothered to put the information onto the actual public web" - that's a fair comment. We are approaching this in stages. I also have a bunch of restaurant contacts as well as technology contacts, and wanted a kind of "soft release".
And if we had gone ahead and created a "proper website" we would get dinged for having gone too far too quickly, before a proper peer review. This approach seems like a good compromise in terms of sharing info but not being "too proper, too soon". Again, I do appreciate this feedback. Keep it coming.
