Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m Kevin, the founder of Tacxr. Tacxr is a marketplace for booking service providers near you, in minutes. You find someone for the job, book a time, and pay through the app. I built it because finding a good tutor, cleaner or counselor where I grew up in Sokoto, Nigeria still runs on word of mouth and WhatsApp groups. It works until you need someone today, or until you pay upfront and the job doesn’t get done. So we built Tacxr around three things: 🔎 Find providers near you. Browse by service, compare ratings and prices, and book a slot that suits you. 🔒 Pay with escrow. Your payment is held and only released to the provider once the service is delivered. 💼 Earn from your skills. Anyone with a skill can list a service and start taking bookings, including students and lecturers. We’re starting campus-first in Sokoto, home to one of Nigeria’s biggest universities, with tutoring and counseling as our first services. More cities and service categories will follow. I’d love your feedback, especially on two things: If you’ve built a two-sided marketplace, what helped you most with getting the first providers on board? What would make you comfortable paying a stranger for a service through an app? I’ll be here all day answering questions. Thank you for checking us out 🙏
