Hi guys, I'm the guy behind Taskwer. Taskwer is a crowdfuding platform which allows people to raise funds for their goals e.g. education, travel, business ventures etc. What makes Taskwer different is that people don't have to ask

Hey, good to hear someone was looking for something like that. The idea to create my own campaign to raise marketing funds is a great one, thanks a lot. Regarding investors, I would like to get at least some users first, know that this thin

Well, it is in a way, but with a story. People can raise funds for something, very often very important like paying rent or mortgage so it's not just work-money exchange between them. It's more, when a person buys a service, they

Hmmm... I don't see it as a charity. Campaign creators create their campaigns and offer their services. People in their community can buy those services. Let's say a person who has a full-time job, a person you know, wants to rais

This is a very interesting feedback and yes, I agree completely, especially the part where you say that this is how communities already work. The reason why, at least in my mind, Taskwer makes sense is that it makes spreading the word easie

Yeah, I like this idea a lot, another user also recommended something similar. As I don't have a marketing budget right now, creating a campaign to raise funds for it makes a lot of sense and it would show people how the platform reall

Thanks, after so much time, I feel like I just wasted a lot of time, so some encouragement means a lot.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, you got it 100% right. > I have no idea how to market this. This made me laugh, thanks man one more time. :)

My idea was to build an app for someone, as you said is undergoing a rough patch and doesn't want to ask for donations, instead they want to take situations into their own hands. And supporters should be people around them, people in t

I'm struggling quite a bit with market positioning and that's why I need people to give me some feedback. Thanks man!

Thanks man, design is something that I struggle with as I'm a developer so it took several iterations to create it this way.

Order details are discussed between creator and supporter before confirming the order. After the task has been completed, supporter has to confirm it and then the funds are updated. When cash payments are involved, it's about tracking

Exactly, creators should offer services in their community to people they know and people their friends know. I know there are multiple platforms that give people the ability to offer their services but they are based on good reputation and

The idea is to give people a place where they could offer their services like tutoring, babysitting, home repairs, etc, services that they can provide after their work, like a side jobs to raise some extra funds for their cause. Regarding e

Hey, thanks for checking it out. Well, it's different from GoFundMe in a way that people don't have to ask for donations; many people don't like that. Instead, they offer services in their community. Also, supporters, on the
