I had a idea today about a micro jobs posting website. A micro job is a feature that needs to be implemented for a product. For example, someone needs to implement Stripe for credit card payments for their website. They don't want to wast time learning about Stripe API and they don't care. They just need it done.
But finding someone to do it is so time consuming that people rather do it themselves. Microjobs solves this by allowing people list micro jobs that needs to be completed. Other engineers can apply for the job only if they can share a repo showing they have done the work before.
Unlike other freelance websites like Upworks, all job postings are first reviewed by us to make sure its specific and objective. You won't see postings like 'make a social network like fb'. All micro jobs must be doable within 1-3 weeks or we will reject them.
Engineers earn $50-$1000 per micro job. We take 10% for administrative task like connecting engineers with customers and handling disputes.
This is just an idea for now. Check out the full details on www.microjobs.dev. Let me know what you guys thinks. I am looking for feedback.

I'm not sure.... I just think the ramp up time to jump into a task or source code repo would make it hard to be worth the smaller amount of pay. I would rather do a bigger job for more since I know there is always time spent to learn.
