💭 What is TaskRabbit?
TaskRabbit is an online platform built to match people who need hands-on help (with tasks like furniture assembly, moving, mounting, errands, cleaning) with local service-providers (Taskers). (Wikipedia)
It operates across many cities in the U.S. (and some in Canada/Europe) and enables both:
- Individual clients who want to outsource physical tasks.
- Workers or freelancers who want flexible gig-jobs in their local area.
