Devs ping any problems they feel capable of solving. They can ping with 2 messages, either they KNOW they can help, or they THINK they can help.

Once you receive a ping you can vet their S/O profile and if you like what you see you can start the call.

It's not so much for contract work or to complete tasks or projects like fiverr is. It's about getting personalized help with code your struggling with.

So instead of the customer finding the dev (as on Fiverr), here it's the other way around. Interesting. Lines up conceptually with the StackOverflow model of Q and A.

Also, understood about the different use case.
