A platform for developers who want short-term projects
The problem from a clients perspective
========================================
The client has a serious bug that needs to be solved as soon as possible. It can be an API integration issue that can be done in a few hours and not more than 2 days. He/she wants an experienced developer to jump in and get it sorted out.
Existing platforms do not provide a good environment for this kind of work. The client has to go through a couple of profiles to find a suitable candidate. It will be easier for example to just filter candidates based on the issue they are facing e.g
- Stripe authentication issue
- Migration issue in Django
This should return a list of candidates that have solved this problem before and their rating stats based on feedback, availability, and speed on similar tasks.
The problem from a developers perspective
===========================================
A developer wants a short-term task that can be executed in 3 hours or even a day. The developer is experienced in Django/Vue/Solidity etc. They can tackle debugging issues and help the client move fast in development, deployment, etc. The developer wants a flexible job where there is no long term contract and should be able to make quick cash $100-$500 dollars. Markets like Upwork are no longer sustainable for this kind of task because of poor prices. A developer who works 8 am-5 pm, wants to make an extra $200 every day after work.
Basically, this is how I see it.
What do you think about this? Do you think it is something you can use (client or developer)? Do you think this is viable?
Please share with me your thoughts and concern.
- With gratitude!
