i haven’t visited your site yet, but i’ve long thought something in this vein has been missing.

imagine if taxi companies could make use of it, or a group of friends could start their own GNUber.

or a group of high school kids who want to deliver groceries/items to the elderly as volunteer work.

or a bunch of middle school friends wanted to do a lawn mowing service.

or…

of course, anyone in the industry knows how many unpredictable pitfalls reality will throw at it, but we also know very well these kinds of ideas, if followed through can be remarkable and truly can change the world.

it’s been like tiny little pinpricks at me for years that apps like Uber, Lyft, door-dash, etc… don’t have a scaled down open-source alternative — a decent Configure, Describe Services Offered, Spin-Up-An Instance and Go.

i’ll take a look later today when my schedule loosens up.

edit: just reread your post and looked at the comments, i misread what you were doing, sorry bout that. still sounds interesting tho, good luck!
