Hi ProductHunt, Debo here - co-founder of Gigster and one of the makers. Like most, I was incredibly shaken up by the 9 minutes of horror that led to George Floyd’s death. None of the rest of my identity mattered. I saw myself perfectly reflected in him. I could very well be killed with a knee to the neck. I have not physically been able to get myself to simply tweet and move on with life. I’m compelled to think about what a collection of builders could have done to help prevent George’s death. Technology is no silver bullet but we have already solved the problem of understanding reputation without delegating our trust to third parties in many existing apps. We can crowdsource reputation and know that someone is a likely killer, make it public and hold them accountable before they kill someone. We can do this *now* without permission. I am a builder. This is my form of protest. I am thankful for the organic community of ~100 people who share these beliefs and have come together over just a few days. The group believes in the power of engaging usable products as a tool for driving collective law enforcement. A small group of builders from this collective worked on getting this very simple prototype of Crystal out over the past couple of days. Learn more about the values of the community and other projects here and join us . The vision of this specific app is to power community driven law enforcement. We can get transparency, accountability and a healthy police-community relationship without begging for it. In the future, we would like to allow individuals to record all positive and negative interactions with police and have the app mediate other kinds of interactions with law enforcement. There’s quite a lot to do, and so we would love contributors to this and other projects being worked on by the collective. For sure we even need to make the app look better on mobile :) Here are some other cool enhancements we want to add to Crystal: - Mechanisms for communication, collaboration, and cooperation to allow interactions between police and the community - A live feed of user-generated media showing encounters with the police - Automated accountability procedures and reporting to support communities in documenting their interactions with law enforcement You can sign up to contribute on slack, check out the GitHub project or provide some feedback on what else you'd like to see. Thank you! Much Love.

@patelpriyank Definitely valid points! The key difference with Gigster is that many times clients rely on us to come up with requirements based on their goals or the product they have in mind. Having a really quick way to describe a broad set of applications and requirements then becomes really helpful. We don't skimp on understanding what people want and if that takes us a while to do we do that. However, because we have systems that enable us describe many kinds of apps very quickly and accurately we are able to reach an understanding of what the customer wants & generate quotes very quickly when people want things that fall within our known vocabulary. One difference with our process is that we undertake all of the risk. We have product managers, developers and designers all under the Gigster brand. PMs help clients navigate the process of working with developers and shield the developers from non-programming tasks. Re: AI -- the idea is to collect alot of data & code from current and past projects and use it to help us understand what people want really well, and to streamline project management and development on future projects. Ultimately you get higher quality, less varied outcomes and lower costs over time.
