One idea could be to create a simple web platform, managed by ourselves (the community). This platform would be responsible for:
Post a request: Someone who needs help posts what they need and the price they are willing to pay.
Accept the request: A developer agrees to help.
Pay in advance: The one who asks for help pays the agreed price to the platform (not directly to the developer).
Work Delivery:The developer helps and delivers the work.
Payment to the developer: The platform releases the payment to the developer, only when the user confirms that everything is fine.
Benefits:
Security for developers: We charge insurance! No more broken promises.
More trust: The platform ensures that everyone keeps their end of the deal.
More collaboration: Developers will be more willing to help knowing they will get paid.
More professional: It helps us treat these exchanges more seriously.
How Do We Maintain the Platform?
We can maintain it with voluntary donations from users who use it and who want to help it continue working.
In summary:
We need a system that protects those who offer their help. This simple platform would be a fair and practical solution.
