# New Site Feature: Signal Boosting
|
|
|
|
In light of the [COVID-19][covid19] pandemic, people have been losing their
|
|
jobs. In normal times, this would be less of an issue, but in the middle of the
|
|
pandemic, HR departments have been reluctant to hire people as entire companies
|
|
suddenly switch to remote work. I feel utterly powerless during this outbreak. I
|
|
can only image what people who have lost their job feel.

|
|
|
|
I've decided to do what I can to help. I have created a page on my website to
|
|
signal boost people who are looking for work. You can find it at
|
|
[`/signalboost`](/signalboost). If you want to be added to it, please open a
|
|
[GitHub issue](https://github.com/Xe/site/issues/new), [contact me](/contact),
|
|
or open a pull request to `signalboost.dhall` in the root.
|
|
|
|
The schema of this is simple:
|
|
|
|
```dhall
|
|
Person::{ Name = "Nicole Brennan"
|
|
, Tags = [ "python", "go", "rust", "technical-writing" ]
|
|
, GitLink = "https://github.com/Twi"
|
|
, Twitter = "https://twitter.com/TwitterAccountNameHere"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create a grid entry on the site that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
<div class="grid">
|
|
<div class="cell -4of12 content"></div>
|
|
<div class="cell -4of12 content">
|
|
<big>Nicole Brennan</big>
|
|
<p>python go rust technical-writing</p>
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/Twi">GitHub</a> - <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterAccountNameHere">Twitter</a>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="cell -4of12 content"></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
I've also changed my footer to point to this page for the forseeable future
|
|
instead of linking to my Patreon. Thank you for reading this and please take a
|
|
look at the people on [`/signalboost`](/signalboost).
|
|
|
|
Be well.
