Bart lets you trade skills using credits instead of cash. Earn credits by providing services, then spend them to book help from others in the community. Start with 1 credit, and grow your balance by offering what you do best in your community.
Hi everyone, the idea of Bart has been cooking up for many many years, and today I have launched the first version ready for primetime. I am now looking to gain traction so more and more communities give the new-ish concept of Bart a shot - and accelerate a new social economy that supports each other. Today's economy is harsh, and I believe Bart could help us all live better lives if we support each other.
Finally a way to trade skills without Venmo-ing people for favors. The 1 credit thing is kind of sweet, kind of like a community handshake that actually means something. Curious to see if it sticks in smaller groups though.
honestly this is kind of a cool concept, like trading piano lessons for help with taxes sounds way better than paying cash. the 1 credit start is a nice touch too, makes it easy to just dive in
This is a cool twist on bartering, love that you start with one credit so no one gets stuck. One thing that would help a lot: a way to filter or search listings by skill category and availability in your area. Right now it sounds like you'd have to scroll through everything to find someone who actually offers what you need nearby.
Cool take on a barter app. Love that I can bank credits by teaching guitar lessons and cash them in for help with stuff I'm clueless at, like fixing my bike.
Started with one credit and traded a logo design for help fixing my bike chain, such a simple idea but it actually works. The credits system makes it feel less awkward than Venmoing someone you just met.
Started with just one credit but actually found someone to fix my bike within a day. Love that the credit system makes it feel less weird to ask for help from strangers.
Finally tried bart and the credit system feels way less awkward than bartering with cash, especially since you start with that one credit to test the waters.
