I'm building a service for developers who want to help out small businesses or non-profits [0]. I'm still at the ideation stage, gauging interest, but would love to hear everyones thoughts!

The backend is a simple Python/Flask/Postgres app [1] but holding off on building it out until there is more demand. Spun off a GCP Flask starter template from this repo useful for folks wanting to deploy python apps to GCP/App Engine [2]. Thanks for looking.

I submitted my email address and got a prompt to confirm, but no confirmation email came through. Is this what you meant by "not built out." I am sure it is clear to others but I'm so non-techie I could be retro. I could definitely use the help though. I have a bunch of file folders on my laptop that represent a fair few side projects...but I can't build my way out of a paper bag. I need an executioner. Someone who can just execute the basics all day so I run traffic through them and test to see if anyone else finds the idea worthy. I would love a simple, one sheet build guide that tells me what APIs to string together in what order...


awesome idea, but I think you should add some more skills to the list.
