Hey everyone!

Welcome to the official community space for HandyMap (https://handymap.org).

We built HandyMap to completely rethink how people find short-term work and hire helpers globally. Instead of scrolling through endless, text-dense list feeds or filling out exhausting forms, we put the entire global gig economy onto a live, real-time map layer.

Core features you can test right now:

Hey Product Hunt community!

As a solo developer, I've been obsessed with reducing onboarding friction in peer-to-peer marketplaces. Traditional platforms rely heavily on text-dense boards, long sign-up forms, and manual searches, which often kill early transaction liquidity.

To experiment with a more visual approach, I've spent the last few months bootstrapping HandyMap (link is attached directly to my profile badge).

It's a global utility framework that puts user tasks directly on an interactive, real-time map layer rather than standard list feeds. To solve the form-filling drop-off problem, I integrated a native voice-to-text task generation system so users can list an on-demand job globally just by speaking. Payments are routed through a secure escrow setup to enforce cross-border safety automatically.
