Ask HN: Remote Consult App for Homeowners?

1 pointsby anoojbover 2 years ago
I recently became a homeowner. I needed to get an electrical outlet fixed and got quoted anywhere from $150-400. Turns it out was a job that took 10 minutes to complete and $10 worth of materials.<p>This made me think, could I build something like a Telehealth remote consult app for handy&#x2F;trades people where we could provide:<p>-Remote consult: for $20-50 a homeowner get someone to weigh in on my job&#x2F;issue for about 15-20-mins. -Source leads: for $1-2 per consult a local service provider could remote consult with a homeowner and bid on a free consult. -Directory: free directory of local service providers with reviews<p>I&#x27;m missing some critical defensive features for the ecosystem part of the application. But the core initial differentiating would be the remote consult.<p>COGS for the consult would be less than .25 per 20-min session.
