We launched Flexy because we got tired of watching startup founders waste weeks hiring contractors for small, urgent development tasks. Here's the problem we saw repeatedly: A critical bug needs fixing today. You spend 3 days interviewing freelancers on Upwork.

You need a quick API integration. The freelancer goes dark mid-project. You hire an agency, pay 5x markup, wait 2 weeks. Your engineer is drowning in tech debt work. You want to outsource it, but hiring and managing contractors is almost as much work as doing it yourself.

Our solution: We productized software development. Instead of hiring or negotiating with vendors, you describe your task, get a fixed-price quote instantly, and a vetted developer gets to work. Most tasks ship in 1–3 days. No contracts. No management overhead. No surprises. We've delivered: - Bug fixes (critical production issues resolved within hours) - API integrations (Stripe, Twilio, third-party platforms) - UI/UX updates (responsive design, polish work) - Database optimization (queries cut from 2s to 50ms) - CI/CD automation (teams going from manual deploys to daily shipping) - Test infrastructure (legacy code now covered with automated tests)

The model: We vet developers across multiple tech stacks (.NET, Node.js, React, Python, Go, etc.). When you submit a task, we match it to the best developer for your stack and requirements.

Everything is transparent pricing—no hourly rates, no scope creep. Why this works better than alternatives: - vs. Freelancers: Variable quality, unpredictable timelines, no recourse if work is bad - vs. Agencies: Expensive, slow, overkill for small tasks - vs. Hiring: Takes weeks, adds payroll, you're stuck with capacity you don't need

Traction: Early users include Y Combinator startups, bootstrapped SaaS founders, and digital agencies managing multiple client projects.

Customers report: 50% faster turnaround than traditional hiring 30-40% lower cost than agencies Team focus stays on features, not maintenance work

We're starting with small dev tasks, but the vision is bigger: make it frictionless for any software business to access expert help on-demand, at any scale. You can see it here: https://www.flexytasks.dev/

We're in early launch and actively looking for feedback from the HN community.
