Whats the harm in shipping both? I love that Google is doing this, and I hope all the best for people that benefit from it, but the term "Google" is not synonymous with _charity_ for me personally. Get your app out there with some official branding from respectable charities ("certified by the red cross etc") and I would DL yours just as quick as I would DL something similar from Google.

Read my subsequent comment. Maybe I should make it an edit because it's really important, but I don't ACTUALLY give a shit, and in fact am actually really happy to see Google seeing the same opportunity as me and my partners/clients. They actually ARE synonymous with charity and have a much, vastly grander vision. I actually hope very strongly to reach out to Google to partner on what they're doing once we go live.

One way to look at is is that they validated your idea.

Agreed
