Is there a platform for free development?


I had a thought for creating a platform where developers offer to develop solutions to problems for companies for free but the developers get to choose the technology they wish to use.

The goal would be to get hobbist to try out their technological ideas on real world problems without financial risks to the problem givers.

Is there such a platform? Kickstarter is not what I have in mind, that's hoping to get money to do something. This is doing something to prove it works.

Very few solutions don’t need to integrate with other systems. As such, I think you need to change the premise of “the developers get to choose the technology they wish to use”

Good luck!

There might be https://fr.fiverr.com/ that could answer your question. I don't know if there is a minimum charge. But it's very generalized, the site is for any kind of creation (music, image, code,...)

Isn’t this just what free open-source software does already?
