I guess I get it (maybe ?):
There are already many, many marketplaces for tech development of all shapes and forms.
For this one I guess it's:
Hey, people who want some tech developed: If you can formulate your problem as an interesting side project you will (1) be likely to find someone actually willing & able to do it cheaply; (2) you are likely to be able to aggregate your buying power with another buyer; (3) you pay a subscription so it isn't a large up-front cost.
and;
Hey, tech developers who like to do interesting side-projects: Here's a bunch of interesting side projects that you might have done them anyway, except here you will (might) get paid to do them!
One way to look at it is in comparison to kickstarter. In kickstarter, a producer runs the campaign by championing an idea and setting a funding model and the consumer can choose to buy in by providing dollars. Here, the consumer champions the idea and sets the price, the funding model is a subscription, and producers can choose to buy in by providing work... and also more consumers can buy in by subscribing with dollars.
I guess for this market to work, it has be be more efficient at satisfying the demand for X-aaS development than existing markets, though I don't know how it might be.
