The problem Sharability solves

The pandemic has taken a toll on all of us be it the richest of the richest, the smartest of the smartest and the most fortunate of the most fortunate. While the world was crumbling under the pangs of COVID-19, team Celestial Biscuit came up with a solution for the differently abled to make their lives easier during the pandemic. Sharability is a platform where differently abled individuals can share life hacks and engage with one another in a close, tight-knit and safe community. This platform is indeed a boon for those who are dependent on their carers for their daily needs. The users can look for a life hack for a problem they need to solve and voila, they can enjoy their lives to the fullest even after being stuck at home alone.
