Hey all, I'm John and the co-founder of ripplet, which is currently available for Android (iOS planned in the future). ripplet was created with a desire to change the way local services can be done. Personally I just wanted a way that I could pay someone to do tasks I need help with--as well as find jobs--for a price I'm comfortable with; without hidden fees and no need to pay a middleman, but simply build a connection with the other person that can become long term for future contact that I could even recommend to other friends and family. Some features of ripplet that you can do: - List multiple services you like to have done or can do. Save posts to relist for continual use in the future. - Customize your profile with skills you're interested in doing if you'd like to provide services - Link/See social media profiles for user credibility as well as reviews - Favorite users you'd like to stay in touch with - Search/filter particular services that interest you - Currently supporting 10 languages (EN, ES, PT, FR, RU, DE, HI, IT, KR, JP) Full Disclosure: There's not many of us using ripplet yet, so there's a fair chance you won't see much activity, but you could be the first person people see in your area to create a post asking for help or advertising your own local skills.
