Inverse Commerce -

Customers simply type what they want. GPS locates the customer. Companies submit reverse bids both manually and algorithmically. Customer accepts what suits them best. Yay, money saved, time saved, customer happy.

Specifically, I don't have enough experience building android apps to make it as slick as I would like. Happy to talk with anyone about it. Can build back end, will travel, etc :).

This is something I also have been thinking about... specially because I am useless around fixing the house.

I would love to be able to write somewhere "my backyard aluminium door has problem closing/is stuck" and get quotes from whoever is the indicated person/profession to fix that.

I started learning React Native to do that, but darn I just don't have enough time :(

Doesn't this already exist? especially for hardware? I remember a few years ago I needed some LED name tags and on some Chinese site I just asked for quotes for LED name tags... even today i get quotes from sellers for the same :P

How would companies submit bids though? Should they have their own natural language/keyword analyzer to identify which product the customer is actually looking for and submit their price for it?
