I 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 :)

So would everyone else on the site. Thus the problem.
Can 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.

So, I guess the answer is "subscriber chooses, and if there are multiple subscribers, they (or the one that paid the most) make(s) an agreement."
I don't think there is a legal way of actually doing this.
> 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.
This 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 un…
Although, I had a slightly different way of going about it and different way to charge, I love the idea!
Gratz to OP. I'll definitely be submitting, and maybe I'll still come out with mine at some point.
