#2This looks like such a cool idea, but already you see that the problems presented seem to be seriously underestimating how complicated what they're trying to do is. For example, detecting specific text in an image? 10 minutes in OpenCV. Detecting any text at all in any format in an image? I don't even know where to start. Maybe 10 minutes in OpenCV if they constrain the kind of text, otherwise ML? It feels like an unboundedly complicated problem.

#3Love it! I'd specifically highlighted this concept in the thread for Oppslist (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14469317): maybe there's an opportunity here to handle both sides of the market, both soliciting ideas and driving work to the ideas?
Still not sure how you handle avoiding imposters: for things like the accounting solution that's on the top of the site I think there is huge potential for abuse in either direction (either devs phishing for data or companies refusing to pay for solutions). Good luck!

#4This is such a great idea. And you nailed the marketing and message.
It's like a democratized efficient tender process driven by the market. Brilliant and beautiful! I really feel you shall be able to capture a lot of value and create alot of value from this. Well done!

I think it'd be nice to gauge the interest of such a project. There is one person pledging right now, but if more do and the demand clearly seems to exist - maybe it's worth investing in.

#6> GET PAID TO BUILD YOUR NEXT PROJECT
> Choose a problem below to get started.
Get paid to build _my_ next project or _your_ next project?
This is clearly a two-sided platform, but the messaging seems conflated: the headline speaks to builders and the instructions speak to end customers.

#7Can only one person "apply" to solve it?
I'm thinking of the kickstarter problem: vaporware.
If, over 6 months, 5 people apply to solve a problem, who gets the subscribers?
The first one, I hope not.
Each subscriber chooses?
P.s. Very interesting idea. Something in this direction will be useful.

#8I love the idea and initiative!
My only concern is that this is a little "race to bottom"; most if not all the entries are along the lines of "I already have X but I'm paying too much!"
I guess this is great for solo entrepeneur/developers, hell, if I know for certain I had 100 people waiting to pay me $50/m for X, I would definately consider building it :)

#9This looks like an idea/market validator posing as a job listing market. Brilliant.

#10Isn't this exactly how Freelancer/odesk/whatever work now?
