Revolutionizing Freelance Development: JustOneDev's Community-Driven Model

Hi everyone!

Lately, I've been mulling over the just one dev idea, and it's fascinating how it flips the traditional agency model on its head. Picture this: a community of full stack developers, not just a company. Each dev gets the whole payment directly from the client.

The beauty lies in the blend of independence and support. You’re your own boss, yet you have a network of peers to lean on when challenges arise. It's like having the freedom of a freelancer with a safety net.

From a client's perspective, this approach seems more transparent and cost-effective. They directly engage with the developer, cutting out the middleman, which likely leads to savings. Plus, they get to work with someone who's genuinely invested in their project, not just assigned to it.

I’m thinking a sweet spot for this community would be around 6-7 full stack developers. That’s small enough to maintain quality and personal touch, but large enough to offer diverse skills and support. Each dev must have a pretty huge XP and be an expert in many field to be capable of building something on their own.

Now, to sustain this community, contributing a part of our income seems fair. Maybe around 5%-10%? This could go towards managing the community, brand promotion, and perhaps a fund to help members in need.

Also, there’s this responsibility of self-promotion. Each developer would be in charge of marketing their skills, but we'd also benefit from the collective's reputation. It's a balance, right?

This model seems to empower developers and clients alike. It’s about building something more personal and connected in a tech world that often feels impersonal. Just thinking out loud here, but maybe there’s something special about this idea!?

Made a little landing just to show the idea and see if it works.
What so you think?
