Getting something done usually costs more time than the thing itself. You ask around, you scroll through listings that were last updated two years ago, you get one quote and no way to tell whether it's fair. The work is easy. Finding the right person is not.
Deal exists to close that gap. You describe what you need in plain language — move a sofa across town, design a logo for my startup, fix a leaking pipe this week — and skilled people come to you with real offers. From delivery to design, cleaning to coding.
How it works
Four steps, and none of them involve a phone tree.
Post your task. Write what you need the way you'd tell a friend. A title, a budget, a category.
Get matched. We surface the providers who actually fit the job, instead of making you sift through everyone.
Chat directly. Ask questions, agree on the details, settle the scope before anyone commits.
Agree and get it done. Compare bids side by side and pick the offer that makes sense to you.
What already works
Quite a lot, honestly. Today you can post a task and manage it end to end, browse open tasks as a provider, place and compare bids, message anyone you're working with, and build a public provider profile with a portfolio that shows what you've actually done. There's a help center, a public roadmap, and a feedback board where suggestions turn into real work.
What's ahead of the first release
The parts we're still tightening before we call it a proper release:
Protected payments — funds held until the work is agreed as done, so neither side has to go first on trust.
Reputation that means something — ratings tied to completed work, not to who signed up earliest.
Better matching — fewer, more relevant providers per task rather than a wall of names.
Notifications that respect you — told when something needs you, silent otherwise.
Wider coverage — more categories, more cities.
When?
We don't have a date, and we'd rather say that than invent one. The release ships when protected payments and reputation are solid enough that we'd use them for our own money. Shipping a marketplace people trust with their work and their wallet on a marketing deadline is how you get a marketplace nobody trusts.
What we can promise is that the work happens in the open. Every change lands in the changelog, what we're considering sits on the roadmap, and the feedback board is where you tell us we got the priorities wrong.
Come in early
Deal is in beta and it's free — post as many tasks as you need, bid on anything, message anyone. No card, no plan to pick, no limits to keep track of.
Early users shape a product far more than they realize. Post a real task, place a real bid, and tell us where it hurts. That's the whole ask.
