This could be huge in college towns and neighborhoods with young families. Everyone has skills but nobody has money. Would definitely use this.
Great idea but you'll need solid insurance coverage. What happens if someone messes up? Maybe require certifications for certain skills (electrical, plumbing) or have a dispute resolution system.
LOVE this for building local communities! We've lost the 'borrow a cup of sugar' culture. This brings it back but modernized. The 1 hour = 1 credit system is brilliantly simple.
This is such a wholesome idea! I can code but I'm terrible at home repairs. Would love to trade my web dev skills for someone to fix my leaky faucet. Builds community AND saves money.
