List what you can teach. Browse what your neighbors can teach. Schedule a session. One hour taught = one credit; one hour received = one credit spent. No money changes hands. Build a real skill-sharing network for your street, block, or co-op.
Each member lists what they can teach — cooking, coding, guitar, gardening, car repair, sourdough, German, whatever. Levels (beginner / intermediate / advanced), availability, preferred format.
Teach one hour → earn one credit. Spend one credit to receive one hour. Starting bonus for new members. Can't go below zero, so freeloading is capped.
Both parties confirm a slot from shared availability. Reminder the day before. Both rate the session afterward — credits only transfer on mutual confirmation.
Two-way ratings build reputation over years. Optional community rules: pre-approved members only, or open sign-up with vouching. HOAs and co-ops pick.
One instance per community. Not a global marketplace — a local network. Strong trust, real skill overlap, real follow-through.
Flask + SQLite, small and sturdy. A neighborhood association, co-housing group, or mutual-aid network can host this for free. No platform rent-seeking.
Hosted plans are early-access. Self-host today; email tim@dangercorn.net to join the waitlist.
