Good point! Even as we did the presentation of the project at the end of the hackathon, one of the judges immediately mentioned how he needed loads of tips, as he was at home with two teenage kids.

We unfortunately haven't found a lot on this topic (if you do, please submit!) but a team member did find this article that you might find useful: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/13/the-family-loc... I actually thought we'd already self-submitted it to Homenauts but seems like we missed it, so I just added it. I put it in the "Mental Health" section for now. But creating a separate category/tag for living with co-homenauts, as you suggest, sounds like a good idea.

Stay safe (all three of you!) and hope you find any of the links useful

Thanks for the link, it seems useful. Luckily our own situation is quite good at the moment in this sense, so no need to worry. We're about two weeks in to moderate self-isolation without any major meltdowns, and that's with a fairly intense study schedule for the kids that the school prescribed. But I definitely see the current situation continuing for many more weeks at least, so it's good to be proactive and smart about it. Especially with an interesting mix of introverts in the house (my son and myself) and extroverts (wife and daughter). Keep up the good work!
