Hey Product Hunt! Bleuberry.io was started for a simple reason — there are an insane amount of awesome on-demand services available to us, but it’s impossible for any one person to keep track of them all and figure out which ones are the best in any given area. Bleuberry is a comprehensive, collaborative, and curated, interactive database for the On-Demand + Sharing Economy. It currently covers 26 cities and 16 service categories — Food, Flowers, Alcohol, Convenience, Groceries, Cleaning, Laundry, Handyman, Beauty, Massage, Things to Do, Hotel, Shipping, Pet Care, and Transportation. The project was spawned out of a new kind of pre-accelerator, Nextt, and is now being opened up to the public for everyone to contribute to the database so we can collectively build one centralized resource of all the best services for the world to use. What are some ways people are currently using Bleuberry? - To find out what services are available to you in your city (e.g. Dog Walkers) - To find out what services are available to you while you're traveling (e.g. Laundry) - To find out what services are available to send to your friends and family if they're in a different city (e.g. Flowers) TLDR: here's a video summarizing the above:

Great seeing Bleuberry here on PH, Adam! Can you share a bit about how people in the community might be able to help?

@ajr771 thanks, Ajay! Wouldn't be here without Nex.tt :) Here's a quick list on how people can help: - Submit additional Services: https://bleuberry.typeform.com/t... - Request additional Cities: https://bleuberry.typeform.com/t... - Share on FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, and HackerNews - If you're a Service Provider: reach out to get a Special Comprehensive Listing - If you're a Developer/Builder: reach out to build with an awesome new dataset (think Bots: iMessage, Siri, Alexa, etc) ...or just by simply upvoting and/or providing feedback. Thanks! :)

So a Google for the on demand economy? I like that. But the background info could use some polishing. Video is also too long, so doesn't fix the tl;dr problem. Also, why have you guys decided to spell blueberry incorrectly? Is that your brand or differentiation factor? Because right now I don't really get it.

@loudijk thanks for the feedback! I've included a link below to a Medium post which goes into more detail about the project, but agree that there's not too much there about the background so here it goes... In short, I wanted to build Bleuberry because I constantly had to look up these different services every time I traveled (and even sometimes at home because I would forget). I kept hearing new services from people which, when I would try them out, would be awesome, but there was no easy way of knowing which services were the best and where (I literally looked everywhere). Eventually, I just decided to built it mainly for myself, but started getting feedback from friends and family who wanted to use it so I decided to open it up to the world. I'm still going to be updating this regularly just for my own knowledge (upcoming trips to Paris, Berlin, and London so those cities are coming soon) but what's great now is that anyone can contribute to the project by submitting services and cities so the database should get much bigger, much faster than if it were just me trying to find them all myself. :) Let me know if you have any other questions & keep the feedback coming - much appreciated! https://medium.com/@ajm5338/intr... p.s. re: Bleuberry - I just don't have the resources to buy blueberry.io - too expensive ;)

@ajm5338 thanks for the response. I like the origin story, always cool when someone founds a company because they had the problem themselves. Haha, those pesky domain names again! I've got the same problem. Would love to see a solution there, though the new TLDs have somewhat solved it.

Can you out tweet an AI?

I can get the same information from google (curated by popularity/usefulness) in just two clicks as opposed to 4 clicks on bleuberry.

@sarim_haq thanks for the feedback! I agree that the current site isn't the best UX to visualize the data. It's our first MVP so we have some iterations in the pipeline which will make this much easier (possibly even click-less 😉). If there's anything you want to see just let me know - I'm all about feedback!

@ajm5338 Hey Adam, I guess one cool way of delivering that information would be to create stand alone apps for different services i.e. ride sharing, food etc. When opened, those apps would detect your location and would redirect you to the most relevant local service based on your preferences (cost effective, popular, quickest etc)

@sarim_haq very interesting - the ranking system is certainly something that's in the pipeline, but I also like your idea of standalone apps. Could be very useful. :)

@taykcrane thanks, man! I'll be adding all the data we've been receiving asap so definitely feel free to add anything that's missing here: https://bleuberry.typeform.com/t... Or, if it's easier, just post the services you want added here and I'll get them on the list. Thanks!! :)
