This is pretty cool! I like the idea of small platforms to connect people with a specific need. I see why requester would log an entry on the site, but what would make a traveler think "oh, I should go make a post on this website" every time they travel, especially if it's unlikely anyone takes them up on the offer, they might just never do it. It also might be nice if someone could make a recurring/constant post, if they travel back and forth between places, say every week. Overall this seems like a great idea, and I hope that it takes off (though making small platforms is really hard).
Also, maybe this should be a Show HN post, so it shows up on https://news.ycombinator.com/show https://news.ycombinator.com/show?
- viveksingh 3y agoYeah, I didn't post it on Show HN because this kind of doesn't alight with the rules for Show HN. If people want to try this they will have to sign up. When I thought of building the feature to make sure that requester as well traveller can make an entry, the idea was, requester would do it because they want something to be brought up between locations, and traveller would make an entry because they might earn some money bringing the parcel for someone from requester.
