Less than 48 hours ago there was a discussion in #startups on irc about getting help for small projects. It often happens that someone needs help for something that might take a few days, hours or maybe even less. Often someone is helpful, I have done my share of quick design mockups for someone and been helped by others.

But I have also been involved in slightly bigger projects for instance BrainRacer where I helped getting a landing page up and running fairly quickly. In exchange mahipal will help med with coding a small iphone app I want to do.

It just comes up enough that it must mean that more people than me and a few other would like to participate in small projects like this. So in the spirit of the WeekendHacker ethos i quickly put together this service and hope that other people might find it interesting.

http://WeekendHacker.net is for those tiny projects or cries for help. You sign up, get one email a day curated with cool little projects that people will post. No spam, no BS. Just cool little projects you can join.




How about making the frequency once a week (every Thursday or Friday), and let the user specify his area of interest?


By Friday, I've already got plans for the weekend.
