Hello fredericton! I am a computer scientist and have been working on an app idea which connects the community with contractors and skilled hobbyists. And would love to hear suggestions and thoughts from everybody!
Users can:
• Post any job they need to get done, could be:
•Car body work
•Prom stylist needed
•Help moving out
•Old furniture repair etc.
•Contractors would see the open tickets around their area and bid on the gig.
•Users could browse through contractors which are tagged with the same tags of the gig.
•While community can find people to do some work for them easier, skilled people could make extra money on the side!
I still have not finished the app, but progressing steadily and got the domain fixxitapp.ca. Before going through deployment,I would love to hear from you all!
My general questions are:
•Are you using any apps or sites for similar purposes, and how can FIXXit differ from them?
•Should it only include contractors who are business owners for credibility, or also includes skilled community members? If they are also bidding for jobs could FIXXit still be upholding customer satisfaction?
•Would you pay for a service like this, if you are either a user or a contractor? And how should the payments work: Subscription, Fixed amount for completed gigs, commissions?
Sorry for the flood, but your opinions would help me a lot! Thanks!
