DutchUncle — Get paid for sharing your knowledge
1
Everyone expects everything for free these days but I believe that this should not be the case. We need to go back to understanding there is value in people's time and expertise.
I created this proof of concept in 12 hours to see how we could change that.

Hey! It's been a while since I made anything and I was absolutely itching to make absolutely anything! I challenged myself to see what I could build in 12 hours today and launch it no matter what the next day, bugs and all. This is the result. - Does the logo suck? YES! - Is it mobile-friendly? NO! - Are there a few bugs here and there? YUP! - Could the UX be improved? OF COURSE! - Is the design as basic as it comes? SURE IS! - Is it polished or finished? NOPE! - Are there a dozen ways to improve the feature set? YEP! - Does it provide a way to test the value it can deliver? YES! Here is a quick recording I made to explain it a little while using it: https://www.loom.com/share/66936... Simply put, DutchUncle is a means to get paid for your expertise on any subject. When you find a question laying around on the internet and you know the answer but feel that your time to answer is worth something, then let the person behind the question pay for that expertise and time. Better yet, let multiple people pay for it. Write it one, get paid multiple times. Finally, a way to monetize your knowledge at scale! As always, it's been a fun experiment and I enjoyed my time making it. The entire project was built without writing any code, using Adalo (Full disclaimer - I work there too!) Looking forward to receiving any and all feedback on the idea, the execution or whatever else you might want to let me know!
