I created Devoired (http://devoired.com http://devoired.com), an academic-assistance freelance contracting site targeted toward college and high-school students. Backend is written in Django, front-end is a clean, slightly modified version of Bootstrap 2. Features include a user account system, fully editable subject tree, private messaging with support for attachments, and a PayPal-integrated chained payment system with configurable commission percentage and refund support.
Devoired currently has very little activity due to lack of marketing. Let me know if you're interested!
- petersouth 13y agoIs this something that a novice nube like me can manipulate into a different subject contracting site? Also could it easy be copied into dozens of other websites with little technical savvy?
- whitehat2k9 13y agoYes, what sorts of different subjects did you have in mind?
- petersouth 13y agoI dunno, maybe collectibles or lawn-mowing.
- PostOnce 13y agoAnd by academic assistance you of course mean academic dishonesty/plagiarism/contract cheating. Who would go near this as a business? Certainly unethical, possibly illegal?
- whitehat2k9 13y agoIn the United States, such sites, are actually in a great legal position. Google 'essay mills' if you want more information, or just search for essay help sites if you want proof that there's no shortage of such sites. The differentiating factor here is that we do not limit ourselves to just essays, and we crowdsource help rather than doing the work ourselves. There is also a fairly specific Terms of Service in place that puts the burden on the user.
