Examples: x hours of frontend work for backend work

Setting up AWS infrastructure for single page application

Database migration for ansible scripts, etc

I'd be interested. I can offer help setting up robust Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager configurations and (useful) dashboards that can help you run your businesses, start up, and side projects.

I'm currently looking for some vue.js help on a Laravel-based side project I work on very very rarely but would love to take a bit further.

I've had this idea floating into my brain for a few years. I get excited about it for a weekend, realize how much work would be involved to facilitate the exchange in a "fair" way, and give up.

I really hope someone pulls the trigger and builds this out!

Yeah I've always wanted from find something like this. Help people in my areas of expertise and get help from other people in theres.

Seems like it's be especially helpful in the design/architecture phase of a project.

Just a friendly reminder: Please note that if you want fellow HNers to reply to you in private, then you need to add your email address in your “bio”. The email field is only visible to the admins.

    Thanks for the link. I was thinking more of a direct exchange of hours rather than a "lending." Seems to align more incentives that way.

That's a neat idea - maybe we can start with this small group?
